Chris Hedges seems like the usual brand of Hegelian redefinition brigade. I read some (Bertrand) Russell today, and it really was a breath of the freshest air. To have someone talk about reality in terms that are well-defined and meaningful. It makes such a nice change from the usual obscuritanist posturing that comes from the pens of theologians and their modern day secular allies. (On re-reading, Hedges is mildly better - his sentences actually have meaning, which instantly bumps him up in my opinion, but his article is still a large chunk of bullshit). 2007-05-24T20:48:45ZUntitled entry permalink

Valleywag has an excellent essay which has the right premises (ie. the utterly dull set of Web 2.0 startups), but perhaps the wrong conclusion (I'd like to see micropayments work, but I'm not sure they ever will). It used to be that I opened my aggregator and found something interesting inside. I open it now and find only dull, derivative ideas. It surely is the start of the end. Let's hope there's a rebirth afterwards. 2007-05-24T20:39:27ZUntitled entry permalink

I'm feeling rather similar to Tim Bray currenly feels. Got too much coming in the 'in' pipe, but in my case, not much of it is tremendously interesting. NetNewsWire is helping me sift through the enormous piles of crap quite a bit quicker than usual. 2007-05-24T20:34:43ZUntitled 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 in preparation 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.
