Richard Edwards is thinking like I am (only more in Microsoft formats than I can stomach) regarding the interrelationships between OPML, RDF, the Semantic Web and microformats. 2006-11-16T13:40:48ZUntitled entry permalink

We don't do opinion 2006-11-16T13:03:56ZTitled entry permalink

A family member sent me this link to an exhibition. Read the description:

Surveillance hopes to explore various facets of the contemporary blurring of boundaries between public space and private life, between what is visible and invisible, between the observer and the observed. Installations excavate layers of photographed and re-photographed images, produced and re-produced identities. Objects that have recently become bearers of fear and the unknown become the subject of art. Overheard (and secretly recorded) conversations become intertwined into an audio piece. As part of a larger discussion around the erosion of privacy during a period of increasing fear, the works in this exhibition have the opportunity to be a part of this public dialogue.

Don't dare give an opinion. Just contribute to "dialogue". This is the same game that theology is doing at the moment - it has learnt never to assert anything because it often gets it wrong, so it now spends it's time in "dialogue" rather than actually worrying about whether what they are dialoguing about is true or not.

Using MicroID for identity verification 2006-11-16T16:23:32ZTitled entry permalink

I'm building an application at the moment (which I'm not talking about yet) that is going to have some fairly heavy identity stuff behind it - namely, single sign-on, OpenID and the like.

Today I found, purely by accident, a new scheme for doing page claims called MicroID.

Check it out, it's pretty neat. del.icio.us and last.fm are both using it. I will be too.

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.
