Despite the impending threat of serious pwnage by the Swedish legal system, the kids over at The Pirate Bay seem quite happy. Now, children, don't steal other people's copyrighted content, it's naughty! 2008-01-31T15:13:52Z

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 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.
