Nick Gillespie has the story on how Tony Blair is sending out a "hit-squad" of "Supernannies". Whether or not they are going to be followed by the peering eyes of reality television cameras has yet to be seen. 2006-11-21T17:40:56ZUntitled entry permalink

Ed Brayton: "For some reason, the Vatican thinks that religious beliefs, unlike all other beliefs, should be granted government protection from all criticism and ridicule and that people who dare to offend a religious person should be thrown in jail." 2006-11-21T17:34:32ZUntitled entry permalink

PZ: "A meeting that is denounced by a spokesman from the Templeton Foundation is my kind of place." 2006-11-21T17:31:30ZUntitled entry permalink

XML can be used for evil as this Daily WTF points out - CSV inside a CDATA inside an XML node. 2006-11-21T17:24:42ZUntitled entry permalink

Some petitions for you: "Stop using the threat of terror to pass laws that are illiberal and ineffective", "remove cannabis and cannabis products from the Misuse of Drugs Act and associated laws", "legalise cannabis", "call for the cancellation of the London Olympics" and "retire the Monarchy". Sign away, UK folks. 2006-11-21T15:23:29ZUntitled entry permalink

Dave Cross has it bang on about the Daily Mail's coverage of the BA 'cross' story. I hope BA fire this woman and any of these other religious types who think that their superstition puts them above and beyond the rules which all other employees of a company have to follow. Good on you, BA, for sticking your neck out to fight for employer's rights - next time I fly to the U.S., I'll definitely be flying BA. I hate your policy on in-air photography, but this is well worth it. I'm sure that if God dislikes BA's sinfulness, he'll suddenly strike down all the British Airways planes from the sky. 2006-11-21T14:25:11ZUntitled 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.
