Pat Hayes: "the great thing about Discovery is that you don't need to say false or slanderous things about them. They helpfully supply enough raw material that simply quoting Discovery's fellows -- for whom self-parody seems to have evolved into a high art -- is enough to hold them up to richly deserved public ridicule. In that sense, a Discovery Institute parody site is simply redundant." 2006-08-19T22:00:46ZUntitled entry permalink

Amy, I think that the success the PMN has had is that it's merged the small and indy with a handful of smart music business people. We build tools - sometimes we build them really well, sometimes we don't. From Adam's shows, he's been saying that they have people at Podshow who actively recruit the big name musicians. Somehow I don't think that it was James Brown or the guys from Deep Purple saying "let's put our music up on Podshow". It was Podshow saying "how cool would it be to have James Brown on the site? Let's get him on board". 2006-08-19T21:56:05ZUntitled entry permalink

While I was blogless the other day, I tried out Dapper. Very cool. 2006-08-19T21:54:23ZUntitled entry permalink

User-generated content isn't always the best advert. And thus, another reason not to get a PS3 - the inability of product advocates to construct coherent sentences. 2006-08-19T21:46:11ZUntitled entry permalink

You know what happens to atheists? Their opponents - religious people - do what religious people do best - make stuff up. That's why there's so many myths about us. As for our lives being cold? No, it's a little too hot. That's why I tried to build my own air conditioner a couple of weeks ago. 2006-08-19T21:34:23ZUntitled entry permalink

Apple needs to actually make .Mac good, rather than copying MySpace (cute picture though). 2006-08-19T21:32:40ZUntitled entry permalink

Just found an interesting new blog called Unreality TV. It allows you to be all hip and cool with what's going on in (British) reality television without actually having to watch it. 2006-08-19T19:10:55ZUntitled entry permalink

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. 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.
