Can you see the pictures?
I can't see the pictures on my own website anymore. This is the message I get:
"We apologize the site you are attempting to visit has been blocked due to its content being inconsistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates."
The rest is in Arabic with a big red STOP sign. It's kind of hilarious, actually. But can you still see the pictures? Give me some feedback.

We can still see it. There is no apparent questionable content in the states.
We miss you!! Regina and Jeremy
You have been warned, Mr. Klein. Further insubordination or lewdness -- of which you have a long history with U.S. authorities -- will be visited with traditional Arabic wrath! Keep your cowbell insinuations and immoral gambling to your self, infidel!!!
I see it only took you one week to offend your Arab hosts. I had 10 days in the office pool, so I lost. As it is, you will probably see this message at the end of your 40 year prison sentence.
How interesting! I think we need to do some experiments. Maybe you can only read the text because you are the creator of the site. It would be interesting to see if you could get someone else in Dubai to visit the site. Also, can you see the US pictures (like the westies?) Are they concerned about showing terrorist targets?

So nice to have so many friends with such a wonderful sense of humor. I'll miss you guys until I get out in 2045.
dear Eric,
i am enjoying your blog so much. i have never read a blog, although i have read about what they are. i cannot think of any better way to know what is really going on somewhere far away! thank you so much. also, i am very proud of you for pushing to keep your passport. i hope you stay there because it is a rmarkable opportunity. you are such a brillliant writer. i can see all the pictures which you cannot- i thin k the Lambohrgini picture is remarkable.
we had a wonderful time in Boulder with Cynthia, and enjoyed 3 days of skiing in Breckenridge wiltlh her also. your mom told me that you first went to Boulder with Odyssey of the mind. that is cool. i wish we had been able to see you for a longer time in NYC, but the time we did have was very nice. glad to hear that you got your luggage. by the way, your photography is very good, and will improve the more that you take.
Much love, rachelle
Can you upload the image of the "access denied" warning to your website? Then you could see if the UAE's own warning is also offensive to themselves. -Chris
Eric,
I did not realize that you did Odyssey of the Mind. I coached your two cousins in OM in NH -- your older cousin for 1 year and your younger cousin for 2 years (his team went to the State finals both times).

I love to eat cats!!!
Now I see why all of these messges are posted anonymously.... we don't have passwords or code names! Eric, when you are a parent you will see why we had the holy heck scared out of us. One day we will all laugh about this... but first we all have to catch up on our sleep. We all loved your response emails!!! Seriously, this blog is great... just continue being careful as I know you are.... Photos are fabulous. Your writing is terrific... have you ever considered being a journalist?? I love you so much, much. Mom
