Despite the existence of this mechanism and its regular employment, the U.S. embassy refused to send a fax to the ministry with only a copy of my passport and a letter from the Harvard School of Public Health explaining my reason for travel to Gaza. “We do not offer that service,” the Chief of American Citizen Services told me. “You don’t help Americans communicate with the Egyptian government?” I asked indignantly after having been in Cairo for two weeks. “Not about traveling...
...communicate from Sint Maarten/Saint Marten, the half-Dutch, half-French Caribbean island. Coming here to escape the cataclysm foretold in the top new movie, 2012, backfired. The seas did not rise to swallow up the island, but my laptop did go kaput. Will my report get out via fax or iPhone? If you're reading this, the answer is yes.

...Sunnygram goes back to even more basics. "Our users are not technophiles, which is why they are interested in Sunnygram," says co-founder Matt Ahart, "so it seems inconvenient to burden them with having to set up and maintain fax equipment." Along with individualized newsletters, which are basically a compendium of all e-mails and photos sent to a person's account that week, Sunnygram subscribers get a self-addressed stamped envelope. They can hand-write replies and mail them to the company, which scans and e-mails the notes to the right people. Or they can call a toll...
