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. 2006-09-21T22:45:01ZUntitled entry permalink

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." 2006-09-21T22:06:17ZUntitled entry permalink

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.

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.
