Niall Kennedy has a write-up on Microsoft Max - Microsoft's new feed reader. 2006-09-12T22:20:51Z

Andy Carvin has a post about racism and being black in Second Life. The person next to me is discussing it right now. Liveblog! 2006-09-12T16:53:52Z

I'm now at Berkman listening to Charles and Rebecca Nesson talk about Second Life and how they want to use it. They are going to get students to interview famous Second Lifers - perhaps they could talk to Koz Farina or Marsellus Wallace. Have a look at some Second Life blogs. I've just subscribed to Second Cast. 2006-09-12T16:30:51Z

The Apple iTunes Music Store is "being updated". If you go and buy an iPod today, you'll find it's $50 off. 2006-09-12T16:36:47Z

Yesterday, me and Jim Moore wandered around some interesting historical sites in Massachusetts. He's put up video over on his site. Smile and a wink 2006-09-12T12:31:33Z

Not sure 2006-09-12T21:34:45Z

I'm really not sure what I think about this story from the University of Glamorgan. I think there can be extremely good reasons not to attend lectures, and that, while checking up on student attendance is not a "totalitarian" measure, it is certainly a step towards auniversity culture predicated on therapy.

Dropping out from my first college was one of the best things I've done, and my life has been immeasurably better since dropping out. I really would not have liked to have been coaxed out of leaving.

If I were still there, I would have definitely not have been in such a good state as I am now.

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.
