Wesley Elsberry reveals an anti-Semite involved in Expelled. Funny that. Who would have ever thought creationism and anti-Semitism might go together? 2008-04-13T15:30:00Z

I've been trying to rickroll people recently with more and more absurdly high-brow links. Twitter is easy - you just point people to a thing about Facebook and everyone will click. On the subject of Rickrolling, you have to read about and watch Jeremy's San Diego Rickroll experience and how a group of Anons have been 'rolling the New York Mets baseball team. I'm calling it - it's now over. 2008-04-13T12:00:19Z

Git wins! 2008-04-13T11:56:56Z

Rock Star Programmer has an excellent comparison piece showing the differences between Git, Mercurial and other distributed version control systems.

And if you want to use Git (and, hey, it's cool and sexy and made of epic win), two posts worth reading: New Bamboo has a post about using Git and Github with Capistrano for Rails deployment, and Gitmagic is a nice detailed tutorial on using Git.

YouTube - Michael Jackson's Sonic 3

Pretty damn cool! A video discussing the similarities between Michael Jackson's music and the music in Sonic 3 on the Mega Drive.

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.
