I like to do Science. Not technology, although I like technology as well. But really, what is technology if not the handmaiden that Science made in Her image?
I do think the world is a complicated place, but all that means is that I'm not going to run out of work anytime soon :)

Sociology:
Veteran pub-crawler, don't so much read as cram, devour or otherwise relish books. I consider that the Master of the English language (and so, arguably of any language ever) was P.G. Wodehouse.
Enjoy Terry Pratchett, despite some seemingly right-wing slants in some books. Live an alternate life on A'tuins back.
