About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Doing Nothing, Finding Something, Then going home.

ABOUT ME

I'm working working and working. Kinda boring person at the moment.

Oh, I'm also a geek, a nerd, well more a geek. I like sciency stuff, I like computers, I like to know how things work...for example, I took apart my remote control car at a young age...parents don't look kindly to their children ripping apart presents, especially when they can't put it back together(don't worry I can put things back together nowadays). I fixed my car, a Renault 16tl (1973), I build my own computers, and bicycles.

So I'm a weird mish mash of everything...did I mention I used to compete in national level swimming(waste of time really)? And also Waterpolo? I can also play soccer/football, cricket, Aussie rules football, hockey, lacrosse, tennis...but prefer a quiet game of Croquet, with a bbq/grill and beer.

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, amazing...I guess it's open to interpretation...but I went hiking in Spring back in the Great dividing range (Victoria) a while ago, and we were stuck in a blizzard, our tent ripped, one of us got mild frostbite on his wrist, we played golf, ate heaps, completed the walk and went home...amazing? hmm...
