The BBC is reporting that the government is concerned about gender stereotyping on vocational training courses - ie. not enough men are on hairdressing courses. Well, not enough women are in IT. Good to know, then, that the graduating class in philosophy that I sat with in brown robes on Monday had an 8:6 female:male ratio. I was trying to find PZ Myers' blog post about the gender ratio in his graduate level biology classes but ended up finding a post about gender ratio in butterflies instead. I shall leave the psychoanalysis of this piece of serendipitous/incompetent Googling to your imagination. 2007-12-14T15:45:22Z
Scoble has video up of Nova Spivack talking about Twine. I hate to say it, but I think Twine isn't tremendously interesting. And I don't think that the Semantic Web is going to emerge from venture-backed California startups but really by accident. The unique selling point of Twine doesn't seem to be there. I can't understand why I would want to use it. Just being honest. 2007-12-13T23:18:34Z

I didn't grok what people were on about in IRC today, but OTFP properties seem quite, quite evil and definitely an RDF anti-pattern.
I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Python and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web. 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.
