I’m a late twenty early mid-thirty something guy who lives in Portland, Oregon.  I’m originally from Melbourne, Australia via Sydney and a few other places.

I work in computing – specifically as Director of Operations for Puppet Labs – and I write technical books of which I have four published and another on the way.

My interests include cooking, wine, political theory, photojournalism, philosophy, poetry. I enjoy good conversation, laughter, reading, music, and my cats. Things that piss me off are jingoism, bad grammar, violence and cucumber.

P.S. I also have a sister who has complained about not being mentioned here – she lives in Melbourne, makes things with metal, curates and shops. Usually for shoes.
