"This accidental global post-national post-geographical thing that we've created -- which is growing constantly and exponentially in an unplanned way -- is very scary for nation-states in the traditional sense. Because where's the border? It's a violation of what they do." - William Gibson, speaking about the Internet, Salon.com, 14 October 1996 -

This Side of Paradise
Information about my debut CD, spanning a decade of songwriting, which offers live tracks from 1999 performances in St. Paul, MN. "A disc whose recommendation
is its deftly managed intensity," stated a New Internationalist magazine review. Ultimately, the goal is a studio album with other musicians.
A Personal Diary of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Award-winning photodiary written while living and working in the Palestinian West Bank, 1994-1998. Positively reviewed by The Independent (UK), Ha'aretz (Israel), TIME magazine (US), and Le Monde (France).
The Electronic Intifada
An award-winning online news site covering with the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. In April 2002, the website received well over 600,000 visits and its Live from Palestine diaries project was reviewed in The Washington Post. In July 2002, the Financial Times described EI's website as "something quite spectacular...a highly professional site." Definitely an excellent first stop for Israel/Palestine news.
Photography
A virtual exhibition of selected photographic images I took of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and during my time in the US from 1998-2004. I no longer take photographs. There is another Nigel Parry who photographs celebrities. That is not me.
The Middle East and the Internet
Some introductory material, for researchers, journalists, and others interested in the development of the Palestinian Internet.
After 9/11 archive
Some archived material posted at the time that received virtually no coverage in the American media in the months after 9/11.
The Cockburn Project
The Cockburn Project is the leading Internet resource on Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn, who was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2001. I founded the site in 1998 and, with the help of literally thousands of Bruce Cockburn fans worldwide, built the site into an amazing resource. These days, although an editorial board now maintains the site, I remain the satisfied publisher of this online newspaper.

As expected, the official website hosting the recently released official US government report on its handling of Hurricane Katrina was less than satisfactory.
