Sorry for the very long absence. The break was much needed, and then the holidays tumbled into the new term. Busting my laptop seemed to be a sign that I should not rush. There is so much to pick up on and catch up with that it’s hard to know where to begin. But this notice from Wikipedia today is a good place to start.

Wikipedia’s entry on SOPA and PIPA here. The story on today’s webwide blackout here.
