> Sure, but does he want to emigrate?

I'd love to. This is a dream that I'm striving for.

> do you want to go to the trouble of getting him a visa?

Now, that'd be a tough one for anyone to answer.

I had a colleague build my blog for me. I love his work because he created a clean theme, and it's very easy for me to navigate. I hadn't thought that it'd also be easier to read for sighted people. That's great to know!

Ouch. No. Don't. :-)

Yes. I'm sorry for the confusing title. This has been pointed out to me and I agree. The reason it hasn't been changed is because it would change the permalink.

Sorry for not giving you the information you were looking for.

And you're surprisingly smart, which you demonstrated through your gedankenexperiment. I'm glad that writing about my experiences has allowed me to read one paragraph of the thoughts of people so much smarter than me. These are brief glimpses, but they definitely humble me.

LOL!

When you put it like this, it seems very impossible. But I've been doing the second part of it for two years, so if you need any help with that, just let me know. Haha.

I used another friend's credit card. There are some services here where some guy in another country who is originally Iranian will charge a fee to take your Iranian Rials and send them to a PayPal account, or go and pay for a service on another website on your behalf.

It costs extra money, but oh well. It's better than staying ignorant and not being able to improve and learn more.

Isn't that so very true.

Thank you a lot for your well wishes.

Well, I'm not doing anything political, so no one will catch me and kill me. I'm using it for exactly the same reasons as you, namely that the United States won't let me view some content, listen to some music and stuff. Even though I have to pay illegally to access this content (which is when I use my Canadian IP), I still am paying for them and must be able to use them.

Haha yes. Though being a blind programmer is not that bad; being in Iran is why I am trying to find a job in another country and relocate.

Exactly. I changed the article to better reflect these though. I'd personally get offended if someone actually meant to say something like this, and since I don't want people to think I'm making such a ridiculous statement, I edited the text to clarify.

Wow, so many awesome software. You'd think that as someone who has used VPNs since the day he first connected to the Internet, I'd know all about these things! :-)

Thanks a lot! I'll definitely try this one out!

Awesome, thanks! I'll definitely try these out!
