Indiana sounds like a good reason to abolish Daylight Savings Time. 2006-03-30T19:15:22ZUntitled entry permalink

Apple Records are hypocrites. They're pissed off because Apple are infringing on their trademarks through the iTunes Music Store. Not so pissed off that they take the Beatles tracks off iTunes. 2006-03-30T18:56:04ZUntitled entry permalink

I would post a comment on this Lifehacker post, but since they invite comments and then require you have an invitation to comment (Web 2.0 faddism taken to it's logical extreme, folks) I'll have to say what I was going to say there, here: "I use NewsRiver, the RSS reader built in to Dave Winer's OPML Editor. It's nice, simple and runs on my Mac. Since getting a working laptop, I have little need for a networked newsreader. I need to use my machine to blog, and I've got Internet access everywhere I'm likely to be. Try it, it'll revolutionise the way that you think about news. The fact that it has no numbers sitting there guilt-tripping you in to reading, and it's sorted by time, not feed, frees you from the tyranny of your RSS reader." That was complicated.

Oh, for crying out loud - if you don't like the contract, don't sign it. The whole Podshow controvery seems to be blown out of proportion. Some of the "quit your day job" rhetoric can get a bit tiresome, but whenever something Podshow-related happens, Podcast Alley always seems to be brimming with conspiracy theorists. Good to see that we're all building the future of the media on the backs of kooks with conspiracies. Ah well. 2006-03-30T17:10:01ZUntitled entry permalink

The Student Room is a forum that has people of all political views. It seemed the most appropriate place to ask: where is the Social Contract? Since I'm supposed to obey it, I'd like proof that I've signed it. 2006-03-30T14:46:45ZUntitled entry permalink

BBC World Have Your Say is an interesting idea. Kind of like Radio Open Source. (Via Ian Forrester) 2006-03-29T23:47:02ZUntitled entry permalink

In Search of the Valley looks pretty interesting. 2006-03-29T23:44:27ZUntitled entry permalink

Apparently, Steve Jobs, Adam Curry and Dave Winer are all too busy for the London Podcaster meetup next week. 2006-03-29T23:22:36ZUntitled 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.
