TechCrunch is featuring FeedCycle, a British product which enables you to 'cycle' through an RSS feed. It looks amazingly useful, since it basically allows you to, say, drip feed podcast archives to users, so you can catch up with stuff without it overwhelming you. Very, very cool! 2006-11-27T00:20:14ZUntitled entry permalink

I've posted up some XPath examples. I'm going to post a podcast later to explain the thinking behind this. 2006-11-26T20:32:08ZUntitled entry permalink

The guys at Drupal have formed a new group called Microformats in Drupal. Yep, the idea that microformats will be popping out of this popular open source CMS is exciting. I'm thinking sticking them on profiles, calendar events and directories would be great (an OPML version of the directory would be useful too). 2006-11-26T20:02:39ZUntitled entry permalink

Two kids on MySpace completely screwed with their school's military recruitment test. You know, I really hate MySpace, but this kind of thing warms my heart. 2006-11-26T16:01:35ZUntitled entry permalink

Want to see something interesting? How about a video on US military recruitment techniques. It doesn't seem so blatant here in the UK, but we still get it - "be the best" is the slogan they use. Yep, be the best professional killer you can be. If it weren't for the fact that so many people are coming back from Iraq in body bags, it would be amusing. I mean, how exactly is shining boots going to help someone become a concert pianist or a Ruby programmer or fashion photographer? 2006-11-26T15:42:48ZUntitled 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.
