About Me

Let's see then... hmmm... inside I'm a hippie, bit of a science geek, though, taking my phd and teaching maths at uni. I was a banking consultant for 3 years, but decided to quit and pursue my true calling, which is to be a total geek. I surf, do yoga and jiu jitsu (cool martial art, check it out in wikipedia), so... I guess that kind of makes me a hippie (but I don't hug trees). I like dogs and frogs. I like weird movies. I cook really great (and am really modest about it) and like to have friends over for dinner. When I cook I listen to music and drink loads of beer, but usually manage to produce a edible dinner :)
