I like a fair variety of music, but i particularly like stereolab, mike oldfield, early hunters and collectors, the better examples of that troublesome genre known as "post-rock", hypnotically repetitive music, political satire, stupid movies involving gratituous and yet non-invasive forms of violence, reading geeky novels, riding bikes, drinking tooheys old, flavoured milk, and hazardous levels of freshly brewed coffee, cooking stir fries, playing the piano, programming hypnotically repetitive music, seeing bands, dancing in that peculiarly awkward way common to men on modern dancefloors (though at least I do Move My Feet), designing derivatively modular fonts, watching hawthorn play aussie rules and the australians play cricket, coming up with daft names for bands and writing daft songs for them, writing things in lower case letters, and girls who dig stereolab etc.

i do not like stupid people, glib postmodernists (explain yourself in words i can understand, man!), culture snobs, broccoli, piers ackerman, george w bush, rupert murdoch, margaret thatcher, tony abbott, david irving, fundamentalists of whatever variety, the carlton football club, and being accused of having asperger's syndrome even though that might indeed be true.

i am an atheist discordian with an auxillary dogma of grudnukism, hence the domain name. in other words, when i believe in god, he/she/it is either a crazy woman or a big mean-looking dude (though he's a pussycat really) who wears elastic sided boots and has with a direct line to George Clinton.

i am capable of a wide range of emotions

the moniker "Graham the Happy Scum" I adopted in 1992 when I started poiking around on the net on things like Usenet and IRC and the odd mud. It seemed to sum up my self-image at the time. I don't actually think it's changed that much, but this year I decided to deprecate it from normal usage, though I'll probably never completely abandon it.
