Hobbies: Computer games, books & writing, music, soap-dodging, caffeine.
Likes: Games without win conditions, William Burroughs, fantasy, civilised discussions, logic, quantum physics (strictly on a whoa-dude-that's-awesome level, I'm no scientist), postmodernism, The Devils Blood, Skrillex, Melechesh, Atari Teenage Riot, messing around in Renoise and Cool Edit, days when I don't have to get up before noon, Bill Hicks as a comedian.
Dislikes: Lag, first-person shooters, gritty-realism fiction, kitchen-sink fiction, soap-opera fiction, people using their feelings as an argument, Coldplay (and all similar drizzly turn-of-the-century whine-rock that grew out of trying to ape Radiohead's most boring songs), Eye-beef-ar dance music, smoking bans, Bill Hicks as a hippy polemicist, people complaining about scientists spending money on "pure" (i.e. not immediately monetisable) research, American political word-twisting e.g. "conservative", "liberal", "socialist", bad journalism, opinion columnists in newspapers, meetings, schedules, task lists, Gantt charts, pointless dress codes, the tragic loss of the mullet as a socially acceptable hairstyle, Facebook, GooglePlus, LinkedIn, whatever new social network has been launched in the five minutes since I started writing this, and above all, the kind of miserable, whingeing pillock whose Dislike list is twice as long as his Like list.
Oh, and Carrot Top.
