Some of the photos I've taken are on Flickr

Some of the music that rocks my world is at last.fm

People keep telling me I should join Tumblr. I tend to post a lot of links that I want to share on Facebook, but apparently this is better.

I have other places where I have secret links but funnily enough, they're secret.

If you want to follow my tumblr'ing join tumblr & you' ll then see "Follow" in the top right when you next visit my page. Click it & you're done.
