David Weigel: "So maybe there's not a web conspiracy to promote [Ron] Paul [R-TX]. Maybe (1) the other Republican candidates are gobsmackingly lame and (2) lots of libertarians use this fancy "internet" contraption" 2007-02-16T23:37:34ZUntitled entry permalink

Phillip Greenspun reckons that Boston needs a Congestion Charge style system to subsidise public transport. The problem with the c-charge is that it becomes a poltical football - where the congestion zone is becomes a big debate. In London, there are plans to extend it west, but a lot of the residents don't want it to extend west because they won't be able to drive their Jaguars around town without paying £8 a day. I prefer public transport to driving because I can blog and code while on the train. 2007-02-16T12:14:32ZUntitled entry permalink

I bet you didn't know it, but God is a Perl hacker. The problem with the Old Testament is that someone forgot to remove use strict;. 2007-02-16T12:12:45ZUntitled entry permalink

The Tech Liberation Front have dug up a great old video of Frank Zappa on Crossfire circa 1986. Fuck yeah! 2007-02-16T12:08:13ZUntitled entry permalink

Wow. Someone really needs to read Kierkegaard. The idea that one can pass a law to automatically turn Buddhists and Jains in to Hindus is absolutely ridiclous. 2007-02-16T09:31:44ZUntitled 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.
