I’ll give you a bit of insight into what kind of geek I am.

I love to read, so I was the kid who always had his nose in a book – mainly sci-fi and fantasy, but anything that bends the mind really.

Technology can frustrate the hell out of anyone, but when it’s cool, it’s really cool. Sometimes it just feels like we’re taking too long to get to the good stuff (you know, the stuff you see in the movies).

Recently I played around with what I can do with WordPress and PaperVision3d, but nothing I can show. :P

Currently I am focusing on producing something for the XBox Live Marketplace. It recently dawned on me that writing games has always been a dream of mine and that the XBox Live Marketplace provides the perfect platform from which to launch a game development company with none of the overheads involved in actually publishing a physically packaged game.

I’m keen on getting exercise; weight training, rollerblading, swimming, hiking, fire-chains.

Making things – physical things, not the ethereal that is the digital world – is one of the best things I can think of to do with my time. This includes woodwork, DIY, art and food.

Humans are pretty interesting too, but frankly by and large we are a herd of apes impressed with ourselves because we’ve got apposable thumbs and manage to balance on our hind legs. Hopefully at some point we’ll manage to break free from our xenophobic self-destructive mind-set and start working together to explore space – both inner and outer (very roughly paraphrasing Bill Hicks). If we don’t I’m afraid we’re next on the endangered species list.

Science! Ooooh, sweet, sweet science, where would we be without it? My main fields of interest is biology, astronomy, quantum physics and cosmology.

See? Told you I’m a geek.

Oh yeah, and open source also rocks.
