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).

With current concern about terrorism, it's understandable that people want to identify critical infrastructure and protect it.
However, a column by Danny Westneat in The Seattle Times suggests that sometimes it's difficult to understand the criteria that are used to identify critical infrastructure. He lists a shopping mall, casinos, restaurants. He questions the extent to which pork-barrelling has come into play to increase the list of top terrorist sites from 160 a few years ago to 77,000 now.

Back in April, I wrote about Cadbury's attempts to protect its distinctive purple colour using trademark law.
Michael has posted an update on this story on his site.
