Oh my, this is awesome. You'll have to click through to see how cool it is. I wish I was smart enough to do this geo-mappy-madness stuff. 2007-05-25T21:35:10Z
Ophelia is getting irritated by the 'community' stuff. So am I, but I haven't got the energy to express it. 2007-05-25T21:32:23Z
Also lurking in my aggregator that I didn't link to - Keith Alexander on why RDF ought to make Web Apps easier to build. Once we get some more big-S, big-W Semantic Web in to things like Firefox and Operator, it'll all fall in to place. 2007-05-25T21:14:10Z
Some incidental GTD propaganda: how to stop being late. I practice that which I do not preach. 2007-05-25T21:13:03Z
I have just added Remember the Milk to my Google Calendar. I like it. It's pretty damn cool that Remember the Milk is integrated in to so many (web) apps (Netvibes, iGoogle and Apple Dashboard). I wish their API was a bit more open - I've written some Python scripts to post to Remember the Milk, but it wasn't as easy as it really could have been. API keys should be available without having to send an e-mail - perhaps just by going in to a control panel and hitting 'get an API key'. 2007-05-25T21:09:26Z
Sam Sethi has a writeup of the changes at Facebook. 2007-05-25T21:02:21Z
Also from Danny is this report from the Semantic Technology Conference: "The reason the "suits" are flocking around this one is that, with RDF, we now have the accepted means and power to change the Internet from a Web of documents to a Web of objects or data." Aheeeem. Seriously, good stuff. Let's hope the VC funding is on the way...

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.
