Interests
General
I'm a little bit of everything rolled into one. I've been a freelance lighting tech & roadie with bands in my hey day. Swam with & researched dolphins for about 7yrs. Inherited & ran an outback pub for a couple of years. Travelled the world twice (New Zealand, Hawaii, USA - California, Tennessee, Dallas, Chicago, Georgia, Miami-, Canada, Mexico, Belize, Guatamala, Carribean Isles, England, Scotland, Rome & Singapore (there could be more!). Married a Canadian computer engineer while I was travelling, lived in Canada for a couple of years & learnt web design while buried in over a meter of snow for 6 months! Came back to Western Australia & opened up a web design business.
Life is pretty fragile! However ... we can spend our lives obsessing over it ... OR ... we can just enjoy what it has to offer!
Keep It Real!

About me:
Quote of the Moment
“The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.” - Benjamin Franklin
Why Our Website Design Rocks!
This is MYSpace so I will be brutally honest! Apart from the fact that we don't charge you for things you don't need, or promise you things that we wont deliver, our sites rock because they do one simple thing.... they WORK! They are W3C web standards compliant, validate to WAI accessibility requirements, work on most browsers & equipment, and with a tweak of the stylesheet can be made compatible with mobile devices. Apart from that they are hand coded & LOOK GOOD! We also aren't restrictive in our styles. We do corporate, kids, conservative, funky, traditional or street! Come see for yourself!
Our websites are built 100% GREEN POWERED! No fossil fuels are used to power our studio.
HOT LYRICS
Every so often a song comes along when I get off on the lyrics.
IRIS - Goo Goo Dolls
And I'd give up forever to touch you,Cause I know that you feel me somehow,
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be,
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment,
And all I can breathe is your life,
Cause sooner or later it's over,
I just don't want to miss you tonight
(Chorus)
And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand,
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming,
Or the moment of truth in your lies,
When everything seems like the movies,
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive
(Chorus)
And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand,
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am
(Chorus) I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand,
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am,
I just want you to know who I am,
I just want you to know who I am,
I just want you to know who I am
Think you know me?

DON'T go getting your nose all put out of joint if I don't answer you straight away, or I forget to answer. I am notorious for being late! It's not that I am ignorant or thoughtless, it's just that sometimes this whirlwind called life throws things out of whack... and I try not to get all bent out of shape & stressed out about things I cannot change. So if I am late, I am just late. No other reason. :-)
