I am speaking soon at the Microformats vEvent organised by Frances Berriman and Drew McLellan. It's kind of strange, as it'll be me and Dan speaking. Frances puts it brilliantly on her blog - whatever wall exists between the RDF world and the microformats world needs to be torn down. The talk I'm giving will be on GRDDL, a technology which I think will maybe not demolish the wall completely but punch a fairly significant hole through it. I'll be using good old-fashioned HTML to show how you can basically create your own "semantic transformations", and then briefly showing how we could pull in some data through GRDDL and do something cool with it. 2008-04-05T15:30:32Z
I liked this blog article about the women's wrestling team at Oklahoma City University, but I must protest - winningest really is an abortion of a word. The New Oxford American Dictionary lists it, but it really is horrific. Insead, please substitute "most successful", "frequently victorious" or perhaps use a trope like the "mantlepiece being filled with tropies" or something. "Winningest" reminds me too much of that excellent British nineties coinage, "minging". Please stop it now. 2008-04-05T15:29:22Z
About to demo at Over the Air. Will blog properly later. 2008-04-05T14:19:22Z

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.
