I’m back

So, finally I’m back, BlogRadio is back and Radio Rita is coming back (this Thursday).

I’ve got lots to post about, some long, some short but first lets get rid of what’s been causing the post blockage – my dissertation.

The Popularisation of the Hacker Ethic (PDF 500k)

The subject changed quite drastically from my early drafts and the paper I presented at Submerge as I ended up opening a huge can of worms by looking at the post-Marx Marxist theory of the Autonomists. I didn’t really leave myself enough time to tackle this properly or my suggestion of looking at the Hacker ethic through Hannah Arendt’s work so it feels a bit like this paper is just an introduction to a bigger one. Take a look though, there might be something there you like, I have to wait until January to get my results for it.
