Want another stunning story? Øystein Andersen has a stunning article on Dagbladet.no (in Norwegian) about a group of Christian parents in Norway who believe - on the basis of the Old Testament - that computers are forbidden. dukesnorre has posted an English translation over on LiveJournal. 2006-08-15T20:19:49Z

Oh my. Ruth Kelly's attacker has been sentenced to a community punishment order and an ASBO for five years. He sounds cuckoo, but anyone who throws eggs at politicians has to be a good thing. 2006-08-15T18:28:59Z

Some more sanity statistics. Britain's pretty high up. America, alas, is not. 2006-08-15T18:27:29Z

Australia is sane, thankfully. 52% of young Ozzies are atheists. 2006-08-15T18:25:30Z

Mashable is pointing to VideoJug, a video how-to site. Pretty cool. It's like YouTube, but useful. 2006-08-15T17:50:47Z

The Catholic Education Service think that they should be able to force over-16s to pray. Superstitious old ghouls. 2006-08-15T14:38:33Z

Austin Cline has a review of Keith Ward's The Case for Religion. 2006-08-15T11:28:53Z

Someone found my site in the last few hours by searching for "if you shoot a cop". Buddy - if you've shot a cop, what you need to do is run away, as quickly as possible. Preferably, cross the border in to a country which your country hasn't got any kind of international agreements with. Find yourself a nice shack out in the countryside, miles from anywhere, arm yourself up and prepare for a "Ruby Ridge" type experience. 2006-08-15T07:38:48Z

Skepticality has returned!! Finally! They've also done a deal with Skeptic Magazine. Go and have a listen, and digg it. 2006-08-15T07:36:16Z

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.
