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).

Jasmine doesn't always beat me at Scrabble
Jasmine doesn't always beat me at Scrabble. On Saturday night, at the pub, I pulled out a rare performance and beat her (410 points to 370).
We had a more normal occurrence slightly later, when a group of punters who had seen Jasmine with her cube came up and asked for a demonstration. See below for a fuzzy mobile phone photo of Jasmine's admirers from across the pub.

Here's a badly dated 1992 video from the US Software Publishers' Association that urges people not to copy software. It features the lamest rap you will ever see or hear. There's an article about the video in Wikipedia. (Via Cruel.com.)
This is pretty cool: an online brain speed test, which measures the response to changing sounds. It's part of a marketing campaign to sell something, but I'm afraid I didn't even look to see what I was meant to buy. The test is fun, though! (Via Digg; CNET News.com.)
