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).

Cooking trout in the dishwasher

I just found this cool link about cooking fish in the dishwasher (via a post on Mikal's site). This is an idea that's so stupid it's excellent!

It reminds me of some stuff I heard years ago about Americans cooking food in their car's engine bays. Here's a link about cooking shrimp in an engine bay, which I just found via Google.

So many cubers!

I just had a look at Jasmine's Beginner Solution to the Rubik's Cube. I still feel like I should make the effort to learn her cube solution properly at some point (I can only partially solve the cube at present). I was impressed to see that Jasmine has had 53,909 hits to the Beginner's Solution... so many cubers!

Thanks to Jasmine for redesigning the look of this page! There will be more tweaks to its appearance over the coming days.

Dr Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker named top scientists

CNN has just run a Reuters story that Dr Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant, Beaker, have been named the world's top screen scientists. The two Muppets roundly beat other contenders like Dana Scully from The X-Files, and Doctor Who.

My favourite quote from the story:

"They're the kind of scientists you would like to be but never quite dared to," said Alan Slater, a scientist at the University of Exeter in southwestern England.

The poll was run by the British Association for the Advancement of Science and the BBC Cult TV website. The BBC site is pretty cool -- full of all sorts of important stuff about Doctor Who and other important topics.
