The excellent weblog Romenesko’s Obscure Store and Reading Room is too subversive for some people’s tastes, apparently. If you’ve been blocked from accessing his site from your workplace, you may not have seen this yet. So, as a public service:

ACCESS DENIED?: Several Obscure Store visitors report that their companies

— AT&T included — now block my site. It seems that obscurestore.com has

been added to some master list of sites to be filtered out. If you need to get

around that, you can also enter Obscure via redwood.he.net/~obscure. Also,

some people say they’re being directed to http://www.he.net when they punch up

obscurestore.com. If a friend or associate reports this, tell them to refresh

their browser to access the site via my new Web hosting service.
