I've also written a novel, A Little Chaos Between Friends, and I have contributed a couple of articles to SmellTheCoffee.Com. In addition to my web design and writing work I offer mailing list creation and maintenance services as well as Internet research consulting. I have completed several contracts for Sheffield Hallam University, including working on a research project on the Sheffield Flood of 1864 and marking up and HTML-coding essays for online English Lit journals. I have also done some digital photography, specifically of antiques and of tourist attractions, and I have experience delivering leaflets door to door. My latest job is working part-time in a university library, but I am actively seeking another position, either full-time or part-time.
Other paid job experience includes court transcribing, working for an audience research company, designing catalogues for education materials, selling mail-order tapes and books, writing music reviews, and writing blurbs for tourist attractions. I am a very fast and accurate typist and a good proofreader and copy editor. I am very familiar with the Dewey Decimal System. My special aptitudes include mathematics, foreign languages, logical thinking, and imagination. I have a degree in Radio, TV, and Film Production with a minor in Music Composition, and I can speak a bit of Spanish, French, and Russian. I am a musician and an artist, I have written and directed Super-8 films and videos, I have done a bit of acting, I can juggle, I am very physically flexible, I am a strong swimmer, I can ride a horse and a bicycle, I can roller skate and ice skate, I am a fairly average but very tactical pool player, I can do a bit of tap dancing, and I am so far impervious to seasickness.
Subjects that especially interest me include chaos theory and complexity, industrial archaeology, cemeteries, urban design, structural engineering, architecture, Victorian life, ethnomusicology, and anything having to do with animals. I enjoy travel, reading, listening to live music, walking, doing cryptics, vegetarian and seafood cooking, dining on many cuisines but especially Greek, Mexican, Italian, Thai, Ethiopian, French, Indian, Japanese, Cajun, West African, and Caribbean; I also enjoy eating lots of fruits and cheeses, drinking red wine, and obviously drinking fine pints and good espressos in interesting surroundings. I am fluent in both British and American English and I get along well with others.
