Despite the unescapable 'beta' tag (damn you, Web 2.0!), Pointment looks very cool. (Via Ask MeFi) 2006-01-26T14:40:58ZUntitled entry permalink

Ophelia Benson is talking sense on the strange multiculturalism being practiced in organising a Muslim cultural festival. Because gay Muslims aren't cultural, or something. I think I'm getting to the point where I look out the window and see all these funny colours. Perhaps someone slipped some LSD in to my hot chocolate this morning. Might account for the strange behaviour of my Mac. 2006-01-26T14:36:31ZUntitled entry permalink

I agree with this. PC World are useless except for when you need something in a hurry. The staff there are often beyond clueless. Now, I'm not a Windows expert (I have a partition, but stopped really using Windows back with '95), but they've dispensed advice which is total and utter bullshit to my parents before. I go in there to play with the three Macintoshes they have in stock and to buy the odd bit or bob (cables mostly). But buying online is so much more pleasurable. 2006-01-26T12:47:41ZUntitled entry permalink

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
