Publisher's Synopsis
So, here they are: Philip's first one hundred blog posts.It seemed useful to gather them here in one place. Some work better than others: some are inspired gems, some are about as inspiring as slime mould. Well, that just about sums us up, doesn't it: we are each of us something between a beautifully cut, multi-faceted diamond, and a blob of slime mould (no offence intended towards the intelligent slime mould community out there). But why publish them in book form, when you can go and wade through Philip's blog site and read them for free? Well, this brings them together into a nice, neat, easily handled package for you. Furthermore, if you are a relative newcomer to the blog, you may have overlooked some of the earlier posts. It's also possible, though difficult to credit, that you may not have come across Philip's blog at all! If that is the case, then fear not: here is what you have always been looking for. And, finally, think how useful a paperback copy would be for propping up that uneven table leg! These blogs are more or less unchanged from the originals, as they have appeared on my blog site during the past year, except for the correction of a few typographical errors, and a little editing to make them more suitable for this format.. I think this is as it should be. They are not intended to present any unified theme, or any integrated whole. These are brief reflections, spontaneous expressions of what was on Philip's mind at the time. The opinions of the author (then) do not necessarily represent the opinions of the author (now).
