Thom (1)I'm a seafood-obsessed environmental scientist from North Carolina currently enduring the pain of living in a landlocked state. I spend most of my free time thinking about baseball, history, Shaw Bros. movies and weird synthesizer music.
Marinus (1)A South African now living in Australia, after 12 years in New Zealand and 4 in Ireland. Has worked as an academic researcher for the past decade, which is only slightly less time than it took him to fulfil his promise of writing an entry for the blog.
