I love learning things - big fan of documentaries or a wander around a good museum. Also a creative bod - photography, sketching, programming - there's a real magic in making things that didn't exist before.

My day job is making websites easier to use, I love it as I get to meet a lot of people and see how they think. I always have a few side projects on the go, one of them is bound to be the next Twitter.

I'm also trying not to burn my flat down, which is not going so well...

Cooking Turkish breakfast... and I can make an iguana with my hands. Like a puppet thing. You sort of have to see it.

I love comics/graphic novels: anything by Joe Sacco, Tom Gauld, Chris Ware. I also read a lot of work related stuff, around psychology or design; currently reading Thinking Fast & Slow, which is really interesting.

Music: Four Tet, Caribou, Otis Redding, Wilco, The Pharcyde, M Ward, Tribe Called Quest, Al Green, Lambchop, Moondog, Paul Simon.

As for TV and film, I like a good documentary - big Werner Herzog fan. I recently saw Nostalgia for the Light, about the Atacama Desert, astronomy and the Pinochet regime. Can't beat a good B movie though - The Thing is awesome. Arrested Development is probably the funniest thing I've seen on TV.

pens, paper, tea, meditation, a frisbee and a bike

New oompa loompa verses. And stupid/amazing business ideas, like helium suits.

well just recently I've been going to a climbing wall - this is very unlike me, but it's fun. More normally I'd be getting a drink with friends, going to the cinema or just reading a good book.

I know the lyrics to most Sting songs...

You know any good jokes. Or you want to hear a bad joke about ducks.
