Check this out - the YouTube user rmoisescot is the new crack dealer of the Internet. They've got all the Steve Jobs clips you could ever want. Think about it. Could someone extract the audio and make a mashup saying something like "I promise you, puny users, that I will fix iTunes. But my promises aren't worth a damn!" Okay, the 'damn', 'fix' and 'puny' may be a bit difficult since Apple (a) never explicitly insults it's customers and (b) never admits mistakes. 2006-09-21T22:45:01Z

Susan Sontag: "The journal is a vehicle for my sense of selfhood. It represents me as emotionally and spiritually independent. Therefore (alas) it does not simply record my actual, daily life but rather in many cases offers an alternative to it." 2006-09-21T22:06:17Z

TUAW has a review of the different versions of iTunes. I've used all of them. 2006-09-21T10:20:24Z

TV tracking 2006-09-21T20:34:21Z

Want to keep track of your favourite BBC TV programme?

I've built an OPML and RSS tool for you! Check it out:

Newsnight in OPML (Grazr)

Newsnight in RSS (Grazr)

Change the end of the URL to the programme of your choice.

I will be adding more pieces soon - including a way for you to track people. I'm also hoping to add a way to narrow search results down - currently if you search for, say, "Today" then you'll get both "Today" and "Farming Today". I'll introduce some kind of 'exact' mode that will match just "Today".

I'm also hoping to produce RSS feeds and OPML trees to represent genre listings - the BBC provide lots of this kind of data.

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.
