We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Brian’s Education Blog To me, a blog, Brian’s EDUCATION Blog, me and blog both doing well.
Well I hope we’re doing well. “Up and running” is the usual kind of expression used for such events as this. Up and staggering around bumping into furniture but mostly lying in pram and sleeping would be more accurate. After vital initial help from expert Movable Typist Alex Singleton (of Liberty Log) my blogynaecologist is now Patrick Crozier (UK Transport and Croziervision), but it still looks an ugly brute despite their best efforts. I know, what must it have been like before?
But the text is starting to roll. Yesterday I did a ramble about what BEB stands for, blah blah blah but necessary. And today, Patrick has just posted a piece about a Maths textbook entrepreneur, whose website he saw on the side of a van.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Quite the contrary. It is, in fact, a beautifully designed site. It’s clear, elegant and easy on the eye. If all graphic design is considered to be an exercise in communication, then you and your cohorts should be very proud of yourselves.

CONGRATULATIONS!
Cracks open the bottle of Champagne, erm, fizzy Chardonnay, erm, lemonade…
Yes, it does look nice, and quite distinctive too. I only hope I can remember what “education” is, so that I might be able to contribute occasionally.
Alice:
Thanks for your kind comments, both here and over at BEB. The above reminds me that I have in my fridge a bottle of something called “Lambrini” which describes itself as “Slightly Sparkling Perry”. That ought to have been served up at the samizdata.net birthday party, but pubs don’t like it if you bring your own drink.
Glad you liked the Keystone Cops stuff, before the official launch date. There’s a serious point there, underneath the chaos.
