Please help: A stick for the stack

[NickSunshine]

lately i have been hanging out on twitter and offering support to people fighting for their voice in iran.

i believe in this cause, and am trying to spread the word to anyone i can think of.

i know the adult industry believes strongly in free speech, and thought i should share this with you all.

Haystack is a new program to provide unfiltered internet access to the people of Iran. A software package for Windows, Mac and Unix systems, called Haystack, specifically targets the Iranian government?s web filtering mechanisms.

Similar to Freegate, the program directed against China?s ?great firewall,? once installed Haystack will provide completely uncensored access to the internet in Iran while simultaneously protecting the user?s identity. No more Facebook blocks, no more government warning pages when you try to load Twitter, just unfiltered Internet.

I know it?s a cheesy title but a lot of people have asked how they can help Haystack. We?re working on new ways each day that people can chip in just a little to have a big impact. Today I?m thrilled to announce our first public effort: USB thumb drives! Distribution will largely be a person-to-person effort, and we all know USB keys are nice and tiny. I get the tiny 128mb versions all the time at tech conferences, and now I?ve learned they?re actually useful ;-)

So if you?ve got some spare USB keys laying around, why not send them for us to use for Haystack? Just stick them in a regular envelope (or the bubbly kind, just no boxes please) and mail to:
