I'm an Australian, based in the Washington, DC, area of the United States. I spend a lot of time there with Jasmine, Australia's best-known speedsolver of the Rubik's Cube. Prior to the US, Jasmine and I were based in London, UK. We have also lived previously in the United States and Australia.

I have worked for an Australian business rules and compliance company since 1999 in Australia, the US and the UK. I have also lectured in IT and Law related topics at King's College, London, and at The Australian National University.

I have some more information and a list of publications available (pop-up window).

Tornadoes in the Washington, DC, area!

I had always known that Washington, DC, can get a ridiculous range of weather -- a cold winter with snow, a very hot and humid summer, and very rapid changes. On Friday night, we had the first tornadoes I can remember since I arrived in the area. They didn't come particularly close to the area where I am located (in Arlington), but they did cause significant damage in nearby areas of Virginia and Maryland. Here's a link to a photo taken in nearby Manassas, Virginia -- about 45 minutes' drive down Interstate 66 from my place. You can just see the tornado's funnel starting to taper before the building cuts it off from view.
