Amateur Layman: ROTFLMHO: Science Fiction Mavens Offer Far Out Homeland Security Advice
http://www.amateurlayman.com/2008/03/rotflmho-science-fiction-mavens-offer.html
Andrew Russell, Jack of All Trades or Master of None. Friday, March 28, 2008. ROTFLMHO: Science Fiction Mavens Offer Far Out Homeland Security Advice. I can only assume that there was a bit too much 'liquid refreshment' available at this panel discussion. Science Fiction Mavens Offer Far Out Homeland Security Advice. My favorite Sci-Fi writers obviously went a bit overboard here, but I am sure they had a bit of a laugh. I can't believe Niven made that comment out loud, I wont even repeat it here.

Amateur Layman: Is the Semantic Web Biased?
http://www.amateurlayman.com/2008/08/is-semantic-web-biased.html
Andrew Russell, Jack of All Trades or Master of None. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Is the Semantic Web Biased? Someone getting in the way of Tim finally achieving the semantic web. Will The Semantic Web have a Gender? But seriously, Corinna Bath has great points about the attempt to 'simplify' the world into semantic goodness effectively disenfranchising those not involved directly (developing nations, alternate cultures, Women, Art majors ;) ). Another class of gendering processes is based on gender ster...

Amateur Layman: October 2007
http://www.amateurlayman.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Andrew Russell, Jack of All Trades or Master of None. Tuesday, October 9, 2007. Agile Indian vs Mainstreet Cowboy. I feel the need to distinguish the “Agile Indian” from the “Main street Cowboy”. Agile is an interesting and powerful set of methodologies, but I hate to see the collapsing of more than one term into one, especially to the detriment of Agile. I also hate to compete inside my organisation against Cowboy coding masquerading as Agile. Let us start by distinguishing “Cowboy” coding. This work is...

Amateur Layman: September 2007
http://www.amateurlayman.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Andrew Russell, Jack of All Trades or Master of None. Friday, September 21, 2007. Rant about an "Issue Aggregator". When at BarCampWellingtonNZEGov, I had occasion to have a bit of a rant about an aggregator that was required for enhanced citizen participation in e-government. I just saw Jason Ryans post about Media Monitoring. Over at The Network of Public Sector Communicators. Where he talked about the open source. I have thought harder on the problem and see major problems in my idea, among them :.
