Peter Hankins is author of the superb Conscious Entities weblog, a cornucopia of insightful and entertaining thoughts about human cognition.

Hankins studied philosophy at University College London until graduating in 1979. Some time later, on hearing John Searle’s Reith Lectures, he thought that it should be possible to straighten out this business of consciousness with a couple of short essays, and he set up a web page to do it. Seven years later Conscious Entities is going strong and the plot continues to thicken.
