Not so stupid after all 2006-07-08T08:20:45Z

My results have just arrived for my second year.One first, one high 2:2 and the rest are high 2:1s. My Kierkegaard course, which has tossed me around like crazy with grumpy tutors and unavailable books earned me a high 2:1 (three percent off a first) - totally out-of-the-blue. I would have been happy with scraping a pass in that course. Perhaps divine powers (or the lecturer) intervened and saved the day.

This morning, I had honey on my toast. It's creamy and comfortable, which is how I'm feeling. Normally I have the sharp and yeasty Marmite on my toast.

I'm in good stead - if the Web 2.0 bubble bursts before I can start a company, build it up and cash out, I've at least got the academic background to become a lawyer or something. Just in case the market for creative geeks with OPML addictions goes away or I decide that I really like British weather or whatnot.

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.
