About Me



Musician Physicist Poet Mathmatician Photographer Programmer PhilosopherI am all these things in different measures and different ways and lots of other things as well. I like stuff and things, am intersted in everything and easily distracted by nothing.

My Interests

All sorts of music, Sci-Fi - Babylon 5, Farscape... Science - I wouldn't study physics otherwise, Reading both fact and fiction for different reasons. I love getting caught up in the narrative of a great book (Eon by Greg Bear is great) but I'm also fascinated by historical books. I love to find out about things whatever they may be.

I'd like to meet:

People who have something to say and don't talk crap :)

Music:

All of, but not limited to: NIN, Akala, Saul Williams, Abba, Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy, Bjork, REM, Covenant, Placebo, Rico, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Tori Amos, Project Pitchfork, Ministry, Nearly, Gary Numan, OMD, Radiohead, Apoptygma Berzerk, Pantera, Adam Ant, Eminem, Muse, Joy Division, Godhead, The Killers, Korn, Babylon Zoo, Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Slipknot, Type O Negative....

Movies:

Off the top of my head: Harvey, Princess Mononoke, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, X-Men, Groundhog Day, The Ice Storm, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon...

Television:

Sci-fi series like Babylon 5 & Farscape. The West Wing Heroes Good documentaries (decidely rare unfortunately)

Books:

Greg Bear, Terry Pratchet, Tolkien, Anne McCaffrey, Deran Ludd

Heroes:

Can I say something cheesy like anyone who tries to make the world a better place or something? I can't think of much else right now. Hero is a funny word. I'll probably change this later. :-/
