i love the warnings at the top of disputed wikipedia pages: ‘The factual accuracy of part of this article is disputed.’ ‘The truthfulness of this article or section has been questioned.’ ‘This article or section appears to contradict itself’ We were talking about the future of this blog yesterday, and came across a wikipedia page…
We’ve been talking over the last few months about some options for sourcing accommodation for people leaving prisons. Housing is one of the top three factors that prevents recidivism, so it’s become one of our big policy areas. We’ve come up with ideas about prioritising ex-prisoners as tenants in manses, and a few other things.…
this is another of those posts i will regret writing, where people will start worrying and offering pastoral care… nonetheless, i will take a deep breath and hit ‘publish’ anyway… I quite like christmas, but for all the wrong reasons. i like presents. i like shopping. i like my friends, and that we find lots…

i’m not big on meme’s, mostly because my life really isn’t that interesting… but i really like bob, he’s my friend on facebook, and i’m doing everything i can to avoid trying to make sense of my corporate credit card statement… so, 8 random things about me: 1. in my final year at school i…
i put a set of photos up on flickr last week of my new apartment. a couple of the pictures are of the bookcase in the spare room… there have been any number of questions and comments from people about how i order the books. i thought i’d respond here… yes, i did realise the…
