Here are some random things you may or may not know about me:

1. I am 36, which in base-6 notation is 100*
2. I still can’t grow a decent goddamn beard
3. I get disproportionately angry about:
   • television commercials for youth oriented SMS based services
   • creationists, especially potentially influential ones like Ray Comfort (whose proud ignorance knows no bounds)
   • young male voice-over artists who seem to be hired specifically for their blokey douche-bag tones (sometimes for aforementioned TV commercials)
   • software that takes longer to shutdown than it does to start up (frikkin MS Visual Studio)
   • newspaper based "blogs"
4. I weigh 97.5 kg– too much for my height, which is about 5’11"
5. My attention span is getting shorter every year
6. I don’t like wine
7. I am impossible to buy for
8. I lean very much to the left, but am not a socialist (except by American standards)
9. I thought Ratatouille was the best of the Pixar movies
10. I have not finished a book in a very, very long time
