About Me

I do all sorts of stuff.I play keyboards, write songs and indulge in the occasional animation, of which footprints and droppings are to be found all over this page. I'm a natural science enthusuiast and a skeptic. (Interested? See http://quackwatch.com/ for an example of skepticism in action)I've also just finished writing a book about my time as an expat in Hanoi.I'm really happy with the friends I've got, but there's always room for more.If you've had a look at my page and think we'd get along, then send me a friend request and a message to say hi. Please don't just hit 'add friend'. Make Myspace MEAN something.
