About the Author of this site

Justin Wyllie is a web developer with a specialism in jQuery and Ajax applications, who also does good PHP development. He works contracts and tries, at least, to find contracts which are positive rather than harmful, not an easy matter in today's society. In fact it is usually a case of trying to find work which is less harmful than it could be.

To try to use his skills in ways which don't create suffering he has set up a small web develpment agency. If you are a small business or organisation looking for low-cost web development click here.

He'd rather be working with young people, teaching or youth work, but all the state and much charity work with young people in any organised way these days is based around what Foucault called disciplinary methods - around docilisation. Not around love. And he doesn't want to be a prison warder for young people. So, for now at least, he expresses his social concern through thinking and writing, and occasionally braving the troubled waters of state sanctioned adult-young person relations to do some volunteering.

He is most interested in the work of Foucault and Ivan Illich and social criticism and philosophy in general.

He is also a keen photographer.
