The following are a variety of articles on different topics that interest me but aren't specifically related to a technology or a project. They're more likely to be general discussion pieces or topics that I feel people need to be more aware of.

• AdBlockers: Solution or problem? - a critical review of a ComputerWorld blog post.
• On Cameras and the Networked Lens - my thoughts and preferences on the idea of the "networked lens" (which is often presented as "smartphone cameras are the future")
• On Community and Rules - a slightly philosophical look at how people need rules and how rules become a part of a community.
• The Army Builder trademark and threats of legal action - a full history of my experience of threats of legal action from Lone Wolf Development over WarFoundry and improper use of their Army Builder trademark.
• SEO/SEM: Visitor Abuse - my views on the abuse of so-called "Search Engine Optimisation" (often actually "Search Engine Manipulation") and how it a) is often misread by companies and b) can be bad for visitors
• Spider-centric SEO or user-centric pages? - a comparison of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) tips against the idea of writing for a real, flesh-and-blood human visitor.
