At the moment, out there in the big bad internet, I'm particularly impressed with a couple of collaborative projects: one is the self-healing database at Wikipedia.

The other is flickr where you can find a bunch of photos I've taken. If your browser supports "Flash" (and if you don't know what that means, then it probably does...) you will see a selection of them over to the bottom-right of this page.

At flickr, you'll also be able to look up my profile, where you'll find some of those dreadful "favourites" lists. But I love them in the one context of these profile pages: when you find a photograph that appeals to you, it's possible to check out the photographer's profile and find out things like what music and books they like. Then you can go and sample that stuff; after all, if your visual aesthetics are shared, why not other ones? So far I've discovered... well, no, I'm not going to give you a list of bands here!

And now, in case you wanna get outta here, a selection of occassionally adjusted segments and links.
