The hairy, scary Pope says hell is real. I'm really scared of the threat of eternal damnation after my death. No, seriously. I'm really, utterly scared of an old man in a dress. Now, go look at this. 2007-03-27T21:28:13Z

SemWeb reading of the day: Tim Berners-Lee on the fractal nature of the (semantic) Web. (Via an old Danny Ayers post sitting in my aggregator). 2007-03-27T16:45:47Z

Freedom of speech? 2007-03-27T20:45:36Z

Richard Bluestein: "Thank Goddess. This is so dumb. The net is no place for the humourless."

Dave Winer: "On this one, I take the side of the mean kids, because no one else is, and I have a soft spot for people who are being attacked by a mob, no matter how pathetic they are."

I'm not attacking anyone. I'm calling them assholes. Which is my goddamn ~~constitutional right~~ privilege that I hope the EU don't take away from me. Smile and a wink

What the people did to Kathy Sierra is asshole behaviour. I don't like assholes online, I don't like assholes offline. It's all about the love, sex and dope and all that shit.

I'm gonna really piss of my liberal friends now and say: Kathy Sierra ought to buy a gun. Get a concealed carry licence - they're legal in the State of Colorado.

Tom Morris tom@tommorris.org

Currently in: Kent, England

Usually in: East Sussex, England

I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Ruby and Scala (and Java, but let’s not talk about that), and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web.

I have an MA in philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London. My philosophical interests are in analytic metaphysics, ontology, modality, the work of Armstrong, Lewis, Kripke, Russell and Plato. I have a strange, unfulfilled interest in Gadamer’s hermeneutics. I’ve been influenced by Gadamer, by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rawls and Nozick.

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. I occasionally produce audio recordings for The Pod Delusion.
