Your Duty To Call In Sick
Apparently it's our duty to the British economy to call in sick whenever we feel like some time off. This web site, Anxiety Culture, is the inevitable result of a confused fusion of the directive, business-driven mind of a free market capitalist, and a plethora of "very 90's" confused and complicated morals. It's rather odd. …

Penbryn Residence
My new web site, Penbryn Residence (the sequel to the immensely popular Penbryn Hall web site I set up several years back) is now under development. And I've made a link to it here so that Google starts picking it up. <wink>

Growing Up
The older I get, the more I become like those people my parents used to warn me about when I was younger.

Cyberethics Of Artificial Intelligence Slavery
Claire drove me to work this morning. We had a fascinating discussion on the way, on Cyberethics Of Artificial Intelligence Slavery. Cool.
This morning I gave a tour of the office to our new interviewee, Phil, who for some reason I keep trying to call Chris. If he gets the job, he'll be working full-time as … -
