About Me

Technology...

I fix Apple computers (I'm certified) and provide advice on various technical issues/solutions affecting digital design - colour management is my topic-du-jour.

Imaging...

Alongside a longstanding interest in "traditional" photography, I have experience capturing, retouching and storing digital images.

Online...

I produce websites - both coding and design - with a particular focus on web standards and accessibility. I'm also investigating podcasting.

Craft...

I'm prone to the odd bout of old-school letterpress and badge-making action. I can make 1" (22mm - the cool small ones) button badges for bands, events, etc.

Send me a message if you'd like any more info.

Elsewhere... I enjoy noodly electronica and folky indie music, Radio 4, wandering cities looking at architecture and typography, wandering parks and countryside talking to the wildlife, drinking tea (Earl Grey, milk no sugar, thanks).

Like all good geeks, I can also be found on Facebook , Flickr , Last.fm and del.icio.us .
