This is so exciting, history is being made.

I am so proud of the people in Egypt, so brave.

I feel better now, there is hope.

People power.

5. Military jets buzzed Tahrir Sqare, ElBaradei joined the rally there...
...he's now backed by all opposition parties (inc. Muslim Brotherhood) as their spokesman.

4. I got some sleep, but not a whole lot.
Believe it or not I've been on dial-up all these years, and only installed my brand-new DSL a couple of days ago. Before this I couldn't even watch YouTube videos, let alone Al Jazeera. It's pretty exciting to watch a revolution happening in real time!
