Hobbies

  • designing, researching, training
    I'll be honest here, I love computers and the internet. I spend a good portion of my day in front of the screen, designing, researching, training and sometimes just mucking about. Music, drinking and eating, watching movies, traveling pretty much sums up the remainder of my time.
