Hmmm. Well obviously there's my radio-presenting, but I also like photography (primarily landscapes), dancing like a fool, going to trendy bars / gigs and seeing live music, innovating and laughing until I hurt! I've also just become an avid gym goer with my own personal trainer and he breaks my soul a couple of times a week!
Music
I believe that music can get anyone through anything and there's always the right song out there to help. Mainly I like indie rock like Dirty Pretty Things, The Automatic, Arctic Monkeys, SocialBurn, SugarCult etc etc, but I also enjoy the whole 'Fabric' scene and drum 'n' bass / breakbeat stuff like Pendulum and keiretsu (you have to hear them to understand)
Movies
Oooo, all kinds. Personal favourites have to be Man Bites Dog, Irreversible, Fight Club, Human Traffic and some others. Then I love comedies too! Anchorman, Zoolander, Dodgeball, that kind of stuff. It's a hell of a mix.
Television
I'm addicted to Family Guy and also love old Spaced DVDs as well as The Simpsons and Futurama! There's also Friends (of course), Beauty and the Geek and Lost now that I've bought the boxsets.
Books
I've just finished reading Derren Brown's The Tricks of the Mind. It was totally fascinating. He's got to be the scariest man on the planet!
Heroes
The guy who invented the Fuji camera lens, Chuck Taylor and my dad.

About me: About me huh, where to start? Well I'm a User Interface Designer for lastminute.com as my 9 to 5, presenter on xStreamEast radio by night - well, two nights a week at least.
Ideally I'd like to do the radio full time, espeically as I'm getting pretty professional at it now if I do say so myself, but it just doesn't pay the bills. It does open a lot of 'media doors' though and gets me along to gigs, interviewing bands and all-night free bars, which is always a well recieved perk.
I don't take "normal" photos, as you can probably see. God knows why I always feel the need to pull a silly face, but sure enough, it's what I do (as you may have gathered from my pictures).
I'm a typical Scorpio in that I'm determined, passionate, ambitious and head-stong, but I don't really believe in all that astrology malarkey
I am a serial blogger. It's my whole life - literally everything that goes on goes into it - just read it and you'll see that!
I'm currently working on a few personal projects that are taking up a fair of my free time though at the moment. I'm building a couple of websites - one for xStreamEast (as the current one is pretty poor and badly needs updating) and one for Grass Roots (which is the name of the radioshow that I co-present with the lovely Katie Spain).
My Sites
Oh, I'm about to put a very clever new interface on my profile, hence it being all "plain" for now, but it will jazzier than Jazzy Jeff once it's done - you see if I'm wrong!
Who I'd like to meet: The friends I have at the moment are awesome and I wouldn't change them for the World, but I do love to meet new people too. I love anyone that has a story to tell, or who is passionate about something.
Most of all I love meeting musicians. I'm constantly looking for hot new talent to promote on the show as well as finding people who will do live interviews on the air for us. I'm on gig watch!
I'm currently looking for more gigs in and around the London area to go to and review on the show. All events that I'm invited to will be heavily plugged on air so think of the advantage that it will be doing you to drop me an invite. You know you want to!

Hey hey hey mister radioman, just dropping a little plug on your commentspace here for you and all your lovely buddies to take in (even though you're now a facebook convert...)
10 piece dnb/breaks/rock/world/classical orchestra Keiretsu are about to release our new EP, Only Forward.
To celebrate, we've got a launch gig lined up at The Spitz on Commercial Street, London E1, on Sat March 31st, 2007. Playing alongside us are longtime friends Breakmaus delivering phat soul and funk. Plus dj support.
For regular humans, tix are £6 adv / £8 door and can be pre-purchased at wegottickets.com/events/14837. Discounts for people who debug my python code though.
The new EP will be available on the night for a mere £3, or downloadable from our website. One full track, Addict, from the EP is up on our myspace player RIGHT NOW so check it out people!
dude, the reason u cant keep a normal face in a photo is cuz u are a whitehead. I do the same man...was meant to take a formal one for uni and i busted a silly pose before i relised it was formal and had to behave...we are programmed to do it me thinks lol
Hey you!!
Hope that you are well...
I was reading through your life experience things and it did make me giggle about falling asleep at school or work........
I remember when you use to fall asleep all the time in Mrs Goodmans class he he
