Microsoft .NET developer since 2002, I've been building software and writing about technology and culture for over 20 years. I currently work on software to help commercial buildings reduce their costs and carbon emissions.
I didn't just go to Japan - I went to Japan in the 90s. I spent 2 weeks living with a Japanese family and attending high school. It was a life changing experience and I maintain a great fondness for Japanese culture.
I've been practicing Goju Ryu Karate for a couple of years and am currently 6th Kyu. 
A long time member of Toastmasters, I hope to do more public speaking soon.
I've loved video games since the late 80s. Recently I spent a lot of time on Ark Survival Evolved.
My favourite games of all time are:
Philosohical articles about AI, science, Extra Terrestrials, Virtual Reality and other interesting science/technology
