MediaWatchWatch and Eugene Volokh have thoughts on the Archbishop of Canterbury's statement on free speech. 2008-01-31T15:11:51Z

Ian Forrester has a list of good conferences that are coming up in the next few months including SemanticCamp. 2008-01-31T14:56:38Z

Ed Brayton has a story about identity politics eating itself - namely, a feminist group blasting Ted Kennedy for being against women's rights because he supports Obama. Urgh. Group rights and identity politics are the markers of liberalism's decline into irrelevant bickering. 2008-01-31T13:52:28Z

Ophelia has a write-up of Archbishop Rowan Williams' speech on blasphemy and freedom of speech. 2008-01-31T13:43:53Z

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 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.
