Oh dearie me…
At this point I was beginning to quote lines from the book to one of my co-workers. She questioned whether I was reading a romance novel or some sort of fan fiction. I wondered the same, but Brooke is an award-winning journalist — not a dreamy-eyed school girl. She couldn’t possibly been seduced by a subject’s…

presenting canon doctor @giles_fraser at #westskep :: the abridged version # ht: @davidallengreen
giles: i want to talk about love! and that it’s not provable via evidence! you see, it’s obvious: solipsism is essentially unsatisfying and makes solipsists neurotic; also you can’t actually prove that someone loves you – rather than (for instance) is deceiving you 24×7 – and as shakespeare describes, because othello killed desdemona in a…

WANT: UK #ISO27001 ISMS certification body who understands tech startup culture? #SiliconRoundabout
The shopping list of potential assessors is at UKAS, but amongst those I would like to engage one which understands: What AWS and EC2 are. What a VPN does. That SSL mostly-protects usernames and passwords from passing over the wire in the clear. That developers use laptops not desktops. That nobody has an office. That…

“Given the thin case against him, it is an outrage that he is being extradited to the US to face felony charges”
When I met Richard (along with his mother), he struck me as a clean-cut, geeky kid. Still a university student, he is precisely the kind of person one can imagine launching the next big thing on the internet. Enthusiastic, with a sharp mind and a quick wit, he reminds me of many great entrepreneurs. He…

Nature revolts against artificial scarcity and “rights management” # BBC News – The world’s oldest clove tree
And just as corporations today seek to monopolise plant genes in the developing world, the Voc set about seizing total control of spice production. In 1652, after displacing the Portuguese and Spanish, the Dutch introduced a policy known as extirpatie: extirpation. All clove trees not controlled by the Voc were uprooted and burned. Anyone caught…
