ABOUT ME

Hmmm.... I'm really into anything which is intellectually extreme. I'll discuss pretty much any topic with you in the science/maths/nature/nature of the universe/why are we here and what are we doing fields, with great enjoyment, but I'll be looking to see how I can either use it to improve my life and understanding of what's going on around me, or yours.

I think time is short, and you should be here for it. I think you should be yourself, if you're going to be here, and to do that, you need to lose your fear, and lose pretty much everything except adherence to that feeling inside which lets you know when you are in the zone which is the true you.

I think if you live and make all action from that zone, you'll have a brilliant life, and its your only real responsibility to do exactly that.

What do you think about what I'm saying?

PHILOSOPHY

Do or do not - there is no try. Alright, alright, it's a small green guy from Star Wars philosophy, but I agree..!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offer a couch from time to time in Perth and also happy to show people around have a coffee and a chat etc. When I'm there, that is!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch virgin so far people!

Interests

Ugh, must make brain work... ok, working slightly now... racing bigish boats (24-34 footers generally) is fun. If you are headed for Perth, we are always looking for crew if you've got any experience its a bonus. Just learnt to scuba. Like to ski. Attend philosophy club chats from time to time. Play squash and go to gym reasonable amounts.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged - remove its use as an excuse for facism and dogmatism (even by Rand!) and it's a fascinating and useful treatise.

Evolutionary biology stuff by folks like Matt Ridley and Richard Dawkins I also find immensely useful.

Works such as "Awareness" by Tony de Mello plus books like the Gita and Buddist treatises.

Jonah Lehrer on neuroscience and psychology.

Uh - movies. Stars Wars. Hitchhikers Guide. I Heart Huckabees. Most Disney movies. Yes, I'm serious.

Also TED - www.ted.com - if you haven't seen it already, check it out people, it's way cool.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oooh - yeeesh. I jumped off a bridge into a gorge with nothing but a large rubber band around my feet once.

Aka - bungy jumped into Skippers Canyon.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ah - if you want to learn about professional project management no problem, I am prepared to bore you to tears on the topic...
