Big Contrarian looks like an awesome blog. And Tacky is a superb blog post. It says all the sorts of things I want to say about the utter asininity that is the "Problogger" and Digg end of the blogosphere. I can't quite believe I actually used to not only read but link to TechCrunch. Of course, now I barely blog at all. The official reason is that I've got a stack of books a mile high to read. The real reason is that whenever I open my RSS aggregator, I feel a new level of despair at the stupidity of it all. A once awesome medium for self-expression has become an utterly awful medium of now seemingly mandatory self-promotion. These blogs read more like those crappy adverts you see on daytime television for consolidation loans. 2008-07-22T02:00:28ZUntitled entry permalink

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . 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.
