    Passions

    -
      -
    • - I would love to see ordinary people empowered to engage with Web - technology as sovereign citizens, owning their own data, with the - ability to choose freely between competing digital services. I haven't - yet been shaken out of my naïve hope for the IndieWeb, though I - recognise it has a long way to go before it is ready for mass adoption. -
      • -
    • - I love Jesus Christ as the Redeemer of the world. Lots of people believe - that there is some higher power behind the things we can see, and Jesus - has revealed who God is by being made flesh, dying on the cross and by - being raised to a new Resurrection life, in which we are all invited to - participate. And I think that's pretty gnarly. -
      • -
    • - I love hillwalking. A day in the hills is the best kind of rest I know. -
