A World of Wonderment

Posted by Colin Temple on August 18, 2008 in Resources

I might be a serial blogger.  It could be a problem.  This is my eighth blog of my own, and I’ve developed and contributed to several others.  But I like to keep all of my blogs topically relevant so I tend to start new ones when I have something new to say.  Since this one will be different than all of my previous blogs, I’ll start with an introduction.

My name is Colin Temple.  I’m a 24, and I live in Ottawa, Canada with my wife and our insane cat.  I’m a freelance Web marketer and developer.  I own a company called XAdvance, through which I work with businesses around the globe on the planning and execution of their online marketing strategy.  My professional blog is called Work, Web, Play.

I’m also an undergraduate student at the University of Ottawa.  I’ve been interested in philosophy (my program of study and the topic of this blog) since high school.  This is the first time, though, that I’ll receive a formal education in that subject.  A few years ago I also launched Philosophy Index, another site of mine that provides some basics on Philosophy, as well as full texts from several philosophical works in the public domain.

While I’ll continue to develop Philosophy Index over the course of my study, the purpose of this blog is to express some of my own ideas, get feedback and ideas from others, and share some of the things I learn.  I may publish some papers or other academic work here — if I write anything good enough.

I’m going to follow some events that relate to philosophy, including world events, political happenings and new ethical questions that arise with technology.  I’m going to do my best to provoke more questions, and get some discussion going on.   I’d love to hear from other philosophy students, in Ottawa or around the world.

Wish me luck!
