Hyperland, a Douglas Adams TV program from 1995 (I think) that speculates on what we now know to be the Internet Future. As expected it’s an interesting watch, not only for what they get right or wrong but for what still hasn’t come to pass. What he’s describing here is the “semantic web” but what we have is more of a social thing. In other words Google isn’t as smart as Tom Baker. Personally I think the semantic web is a pipe dream but I’m prepared to be proven wrong. (via)

About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.
