amnesty international finally gets the cyber-universe...

i for one got into publishing by apprenticing at a literally greasy basement print shop with a multilith 1250 in athens ga around 1980....you know doing layout with film print typesetting text, an old, damp darkroom, burning metal plates, and he toxic smell of fresh ink and mold wafting sensually through the air...those were the days...

but when i saw amnesty international's 2007 report on-line while sitting here in, well, whatever i'm wearing, early in the morning i had to just say, "ahhhh, the gold old new days,"...

the video, audio, and photos section is simply something you couldn't print in hard copy...and you can check out secretariat irene khan's thoughtful intro, all the amnesty campaigns, identify which countries have signed which human rights treaties, get all the latest facts and figures...hell, they even tell you how to tag and blog and spread the word!

it's even available in five languages so check it out today and share it with all your friends who have room for both american idol and amnesty international in their lives...

peace out <3
