Hullo! I'm Pete. I'm the bigger one in the picture, not the little furry one with the tail. Wish I had a tail. Evolution has really ripped us humans off in that regard.

I've spent the last couple of years working pretty hard, and haven't done enough playing to match. My social life used to be a small group of close friends, but they've spread out a bit, and I'm looking to meet some new people.

I won't ramble on about myself too much. It just feels awkward. Message me and ask things!

Loving my job at a challenging and fast-growing company.

Learning guitar, slowly.

Helping with research into penguins on weekends.

Riding bikes quite a lot. (The sort you pedal. Motors are for wimps.)

Trying to get myself organised to use some of the vast amounts of leave I have saved up. (I managed to take some time off to go to Costa Rica last year, which was amazing!)

knowing enough to realise that the Dunning-Kruger effect renders this section pretty pointless.

I've honestly no idea! I'm going to start asking people I meet now.

Always hard to pick favourites.

Some things that have been on the menu lately:

Reading: J.G. Ballard short stories, anything by Stanislaw Lem

Listening to: Little Barrie, The Dead Weather, The Black Keys, early David Bowie, Ray LaMontagne, London Elektricity

Watching: Old episodes of Blakes 7, Repo: The Genetic Opera, Game of Thrones

- Animals (they're the best people)
- Warm socks
- Incomplete lists

- How to get better at various things
- My friends

Going to bed early, so I can get up on Saturday for a bike ride.

I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

you want to. The idea of this is to meet new people, right? :)
