I've spent half my working life as a broadcaster and half as a software developer. Along the way I've been a professional musician, and an assistant to apiarists and undertakers (although not at the same time). I live in Whanganui, where I write and record music, write web and desktop software utilities for my own amusement, and enjoy biking, reading and travelling.

'But events don’t end when we say they do. We do not enjoy a singular and uncontested prerogative to alter reality through magical thinking, force of arms, indignant entitlement, and sheer dippy fiat. We may think we’re playing a game that ends when we say it does, that the past only matters when we want it to, that the places we project our power will somehow always remain elsewhere, that the repressed will never return, and that repression takes no toll on all parties involved. At some point, and on some timeline you don’t get to choose, the world pushes back. You can just do things, sure, right until the game is up, and then you can’t.'
