Cute little icons. 2006-04-12T20:30:36Z

Mobhappy has a bunch of predictions for 2006. Number 17 will soon be wrong, thanks to PayPal Mobile. Number 4 has an answer: they don't need a USP. They need a good price. People will find their own USP. I don't want to call people in video. Heck, I don't want to call people full stop. I want a cheap connection, and they refuse to do it. 2006-04-12T20:25:34Z

Cory's got a flash new job. 2006-04-12T20:24:42Z

Lisa points to Om Malik's OPML file. I've subscribed. 2006-04-12T20:22:31Z

I respond to yet another misunderstanding of podcasting. Is it simple ignorance or is it willed? 2006-04-12T19:46:41Z

Want to see something sweet? A USB Flash drive that pumps up. As for applications? I'll leave those to your imagination. 2006-04-12T17:48:59Z

Dave has released an S3 API for OPML. Neat. 2006-04-12T17:10:18Z

I've just hacked up my NewsRiver further, adding a new function called "Quick Update". What's this? Well, we all love and adore our Reading Lists, right? Well, not all of us do. Reading Lists are great, but once you've bundled a whole load of stuff in to a Reading List, you have to then download it every time you update. If, like me, you use low bandwidth connections like mobile phones a lot, then downloading Reading Lists can take a long time. Quick Update cuts out the Reading List downloads, so that when I'm on the train I can simply hit "Quick Update" and it'll start grabbing headlines without the wait. If you want to try out this hack, you'll find it in the OPML Code node of my instant outline. (You can subscribe for further code updates). 2006-04-12T16:53:40Z

So, the new Internet Explorer sucks. Surprise? 2006-04-12T10:12:29Z

So true! 2006-04-12T08:21:49Z

Tom Morris tom@tommorris.org

Currently in: Kent, England

Usually in: East Sussex, England

I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Ruby and Scala (and Java, but let’s not talk about that), and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web.

I have an MA in philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London. My philosophical interests are in analytic metaphysics, ontology, modality, the work of Armstrong, Lewis, Kripke, Russell and Plato. I have a strange, unfulfilled interest in Gadamer’s hermeneutics. I’ve been influenced by Gadamer, by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rawls and Nozick.

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. I occasionally produce audio recordings for The Pod Delusion.
