Cool postage stamps! Britain have had some neat stamps recently - 'Winter animals' - lots of sabre-tooths and so on. The full set of American computer ones are here. 2006-04-22T21:48:13Z
This story passed me by, but it's important. The EU want to regulate online video content in the same way they do broadcast TV. 2006-04-22T21:46:43Z
Dave wants a SF BloggerCon this June. We need a London one this summer also. 2006-04-22T21:42:05Z

Techdirt: "It's been proven time and time again that filters don't work -- so, again, why not use the time and resources spent on these filters and tracking kids' ways around them on teaching critical thinking and good judgment instead?" 2006-04-22T11:25:27Z
Dave, try Parallels Workstation. It's a superb piece of software which needs only a few little fixes to make it a perfect drop-in replacement for my PC in all but a few instances. 2006-04-22T11:05:46Z
The KISS-inspired "Lordi" are representing Finland at Eurovision this year playing heavy metal and wielding a chain-saw. That should liven things up a tad. 2006-04-22T05:26:04Z
I'm running Parallels on OS X now. Very cool to have XP sitting there in the background. My main peeve though is the lack of pass-through virtualisation of graphics processing. Once that happens, my Mac is goin' to LAN parties, baby. 2006-04-22T05:07:59Z

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.
