As the Student Protests were starting outside my office door, I decided to pop down and see what was going on.
I nominally joined in and took this selection of some of the more humorous signs I found.
The photos seemed to go down well on Twitter – this one had 15,000 views and [...]
An online acquaintance of mine, Becky Hogge, has released a book!
Barefoot Into Cyberspace tells the story of the “hacker scene” over the tumultuous last few years.
Yesterday, Becky released a transcript of her interview with Julian Assange – in it he discusses the News of the World hacking, amongst other things. [...]

I’m a natural Labour voter. As I explained several months ago, I went in to this election thinking I may vote Labour. It’s now become clear that my vote will be going to the Liberal Democrats. More than that, I will be joining them.
I want to explain why – without resorting to attacking [...]
Weeks before Britons go to the polls, there’s still no comprehensive list of candidates. Four citizens’ initiatives have joined forces to tackle the problem. They’ve been gathering basic information about thousands of candidates and making the data public.
“It may seem surprising but there simply is no single listing for all prospective parliamentary candidates. We [...]
While on the anti-Digital-Economy-Bill protest, I bumped into Denny de la Haye. I’ve known Denny virtually for a while – and he’s commented on this blog a number of times.
Denny is standing for parliament in Hackney South and Shoreditch. He is standing on a platform of Direct Digital Democracy. If he is [...]
