I often ask exactly what it is I'm doing with my life, regularly feeling its been somewhat of a waste so far. Currently, I make sure products are safe and practical. Today I tested an exercise machine, and an electrically warm toilet seat for cold days. Suffice to say the combination of water and electrical products, focused in the genital area was not a revolutionary or enjoyable one. When I'm not slaving away to pay for the toast, Tanycolagreus and the always necesssary Alternative Gearing Transmission unit, you can usually find me Studying Communications (Media and Art Production) at UTS and pretending I'm far more plugged in to the industry than I acctually am.
I like to make things to pass the time, unfortunately these things are usually created out of boredom, pretension and lack of a function or need. As such could colloquially be referred to as "Art" but I feel that any such characterisation is a disservice to the word, and mies van der Rohe, Gropius and their ilk would find it enormously offensive. I love it when people give me a need to be fulfilled, and use many varied tools to accomplish them. Such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, and After Effects through too Final Cut Studio and Avid Media Composer.

I am also somewhat ambivolent towards Jamie Oliver, just so you know.
