Dolphins can do some pretty neat stuff! 2006-05-11T19:35:16Z

Imitation, flattery... heh heh. 2006-05-11T19:34:11Z

James has started out on my idea. Cool. Once I've knocked these essays on the head, I'm going to put something together. 2006-05-11T18:09:39Z

openDemocracy has an article on net neutrality. 2006-05-11T16:42:32Z

The ".xxx" debacle could finally be at a close, the BBC are reporting. Oh, thank Buddha for that. The .xxx domain was one of the worst ideas to have hit the 'net, and it's taken nearly a decade to finally get rid of it. It would have been extremely "web-centric" - there are more than enough differing protocols and uses for the net, so to shoehorn the web in to the porn industry blueprint would be very limiting, and also very stupid. We need to have a clear wall between content and domains - especially as the governments around the world have a certain interest in domains (remember the goatse.cx debaclé). 2006-05-11T08:59:05Z

Those cheeky bastards at the Advertising Standards Authority are saying that "unlimited" really means 1Gb 2006-05-11T08:53:31Z

The Cranky Insomniac takes Andrew Sullivan to task for not taking the Second Amendment seriously. 2006-05-11T08:26:25Z

Jeremy Zawodny has put up a Top 10 Sources list. 2006-05-11T08:23:52Z

Some Valleywag nonsense though: "the average blogger doesn't give a damn about OPML". Guess we're not the average. 2006-05-11T08:30:26Z

Valleywag is pretty insightful about the MySpace IM system: "MySpace will last about four months before all the kiddies go right back to AIM, where their friends are. In the meantime, the media will find one case of a child being sexually solicited through the new tool, and a watchdog group will try to push legislation, a boycott, or a federally funded program." 2006-05-11T08:19:46Z

Oh man, Scoble has had some really bad news. 2006-05-11T08:16:18Z

I need a robot which follows this advice to the letter. 2006-05-11T08:03:49Z

Want some encouragement? Read this. Either way this should make you happy - either you'll be happy that there are other people enjoying high culture like you do, or you'll be happy that other people are enjoying high culture so you don't have to. 2006-05-11T08:01:12Z

Currently in: East Sussex, 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.
