All about me

• I once performed with the Australian Ballet as an extra in Spartacus.  I had a great death at the end of the first act.
• When I was nine I flooded the schoolyard sticker market (decal for my American friends) with ones from the radio station where my mother worked and had my first lesson in supply and demand.
• I've walked on the lid of Viet Nam's nuclear reactor in Da Lat.
• I am a big fan of the works of William Dalrymple
• My favourite quote at the moment is "There are only two things that are infinite; the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe". Albert Einstein.
• I live in Sydney Australia but I was born in the 'Athens of the South' - Adelaide
• I am a tragic francophile
• I love aldaily.com
• I'm inordinately proud of my bricklaying skills
• My favourite computer language is VB.Net - HERESY!!!  BURN HIM!!!
• I was brought up on LEGO, Famous Five books, TV shows like Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Lost in Space and How and Why Wonder books
• I believe Australia should become a republic with Roy Slaven as President and H.G. Nelson as prime minister.  When they run for office they just need to use some clips from their old shows like Club Buggery - what could be more attractive than that?
