More like interNOT filter
Here are three articles I've written about the government's proposed net filter.
Have a read and pass the links around, guys. More publicity means more pressure on the Government to scrap this cynical vote-grab. -
Let the dead raise their heads, and the dying leave their beds
So that's five courses and five high distinctions for the year. Booyah ( Read more... ) -

On the classification of electronic entertainment
So I've been seeing this petition doing the rounds requesting that South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson rethink his stance on refusing to allow an R-rating for computer games and, by extension, refusing classification for Fallout 3 ( Read more... ) -
Overcommitment!
So it turns out that this glorious, self-aggrandising idea of mine whereby I would hold down a full-time job, study part-time at uni and write an essay-length column each week was maybe a little more than I could handle. Something had to go and, as those of you with better perception than a block of pine can tell, it was the essays ( Read more... ) -

Awake, can't sleep; why, God, why?
Might as well get up. -
In which Karl is slow on the uptake.
You know - or perhaps you don't, and I should stop being so arrogant. I mean, really, who am I to be telling you what you do and don't know? You're all adults, capable of self-determination and some limited independent decision making. What kind of heavily-biased commentator would I be if I were to decide, arbitrarily, that you, the reader, already ( Read more... )
