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).

It's all about Nicki McRoberts
A little while back, I wrote about Nicki McRoberts, who is obsessed with gaining weight to achieve her target of 500-600 lb. The statistics for this website show that Google searches for Nicki McRoberts are the most common single reason for people to visit my site, so this is obviously a very important current affairs issue. There is obviously a real need for news about Nicki as I am not (at the time of writing) even listed on the first page of results that Google returns!
Oh, and I still think what Nicki is doing is stupid.
Washington tornadoes -- update
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about tornadoes in the Washington, DC, area. It seems that the weather had one unexpected result: an arrest in nearby Frederick, Maryland, on child pornography charges. Robert L. Medvee's house was damaged during the tornado and it is alleged that workers stumbled across 24 boxes of porn material while repairing the building. At the time of writing, Medvee is in prison on US$96,000 bail.
