INFORMATION
| Hobbies: | Well, I don't drink, take drugs, or watch television, and with all that free time I manage to do
a lot of other things! Instead of the usual list of "hobbies", I'll tell you some of the things I've achieved in 2008* alone: - Built an arcade cabinet - Travelled around Australia / Tasmania for 3 months - Went skydiving and loved it - Went snowboarding (again) and finally did a backflip - Attended 3 festivals and at least 40 gigs - Listened to a lot of new albums - Visited London for the first time! When you consider that I also completely wrote COG E-Commerce, oopstudios.com and isafox.com in the past year (as well as earning a good living) you get a picture of just how productive I am! I'm very polite, organised, open-minded and extremely well-motivated. If any friend were asked to describe me, I'm confident they'd say I'm “addicted to learning and teaching” as well as being kind and helpful to everyone I meet! |
