PHP

I've been programming in PHP since 1999. I've contributed articles to php|architect magazine, spoken at the php|cruise conference in 2004 (where I was voted Best Speaker), and co-authored the official Study Guide for the Zend PHP 4 Certification Exam.

Photography

One of the nice things about being married to an artist is the encouragement and coaching I get on my photography. Combine that with living very close to the Brecon Beacons, and when the weather's good, you can find me wandering the hills of South Wales with my beloved Nikon and Canon cameras.

My current photography project is Merthyr Road, an investigation of both the old and the new along the route from Cardiff to Merthyr Tydfil.

Tai Chi

I went to my first Tai Chi class because my wife didn't want to go there alone ... now I'm teaching a class of my own! How exactly did that happen? :) I'm interested in the deeper understanding and applications of this fantastic art, and especially in how we can improve the way Tai Chi is taught so that the health benefits can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone.

Personal Stuff

If you're still reading at this point :), I also keep a general (and somewhat disorganised) personal blog too, aimed more at friends and family.
