I shall skip the usual introductions. If you're visiting this page you've obviously been pestered by me about seeing it, or have stumbled upon it quite inadvertently. So I've decided to be nice to you and not indulge in writing huge paras of verbiage about myself, which incidentally is something I happen to be quite inadept at inspite of being generally acknowledged as quite verbose with the English language.
I owe web surfers a good explanation why I have these web pages up in the first place so let's go into that first. One, I do believe that I have some contributions to make to the Web. Two, I thoroughly enjoy writing. And three, perhaps the best answer, lies in a wonderful line from the song "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls
"When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am."
