Perhaps you may have thought that this page would be full of interesting things? [Especially if you came from here.] My life certainly is, but when will I find time to broadcast it to the whole world? You could always see what I am up to at Global Learning or iMEET. Prior to this I designed, developed and maintained ALIAnet, but that was a long time ago. I wouldn't despair too much though. I will eventually get around to producing much more, including content and files that you may want to read - should be all ready to post here when we find life on Mars. You'll want a distraction about then.

Interests
One day you might be able to read all about my interests in Nordic skiing (I used to train instructors in my spare moments - was once my main occupation), kayaking, roller-blading, watching weird movies, bushwalking, photography, graphic designing and cartooning, computers as merely tools of creativity and knowledge rather than toys for the boys, cycling, good design, rafting, solar-passive housing, climbing, and other extravagant, self-centred, middle-class activities. And sailing. But it will all have to wait. I'm busy.

I wrote a manual on Nordic skiing (okay, cross-country to most of you) following a stint at training instructors in Europe etc. Actually, the skiing thing was loads of fun. Recommend it to anyone. Must be warm-blooded to fully appreciate it though. Since I taught for many years (this equates to centuries in ski instructor terms), I got to be rather good at it, but in the end I grew up and got a respectable job that demanded a suit and tie and pleased my mother. However, if you are still interested, take this link to the Australian Nordic Ski Instructor's Manual.

Ramblings
I also write quite a lot of stuff that appears in one magazine or another... [needs updating, over a year out of date...]
