Incidental inspiration

When I wasn't thinking about Korea these couple of weeks, I was thinking about:

• mySociety, a charitable organisation in the UK that builds websites to advance democracy and civic participation (via BBC News).
• censorship in Singapore, one of the latest victims being Junfeng, whose award-winning short films --- dutifully rated R21 by MDA --- were excised without explanation from Singapore Short Cuts.
• Elizabeth Gilbert's TED talk about creativity (again).
• women --- in the US military, and around the world.
