Cory Doctorow has a good post on how to put something up on the Web in a way that doesn't suck and that is likely to induce bloggers to post about it. I've got a new linking policy - I'm now going to link straight through to "Print" pages. The multi-page faff that some web publishers does sucks arse big time, and the print versions are often easier downloads for people on mobile connections. Of course, if you've designed your site properly, you don't need a print version as you can use CSS and JavaScript to make sites print prettily. 2008-03-12T21:49:10Z

The ORG have gotten some BBC press coverage over the Phorm storm. 2008-03-12T14:14:24Z

Ben Darlow has advice on how to chuck a spanner in the Metropolitan Police's terrible new anti-photography policy - flood it with false positive reports (well, more false positive reports) to help them realise the utter futility of harassing innocent photographers. Add 0800 789 321 to your mobile phone's contacts database and dial it whenever you see someone taking a photograph in London - regardless of whether it's a professional snapper, a camera phone user, a tourist or anyone in between. 2008-03-12T11:54:10Z

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.
