Things I am interested in:Mobile ApplicationsI sometimes get enthusiastic and write applications for mobile phones.ActingThe acting bug has got to me again. I'm now webmaster for the Canberra based Rude Mechanicals, where I played Harry Secombe in Ying Tong: a walk with the Goons, which was performed 17 August - 2 September 2006. We went down well. There were good reviews, and we even got "Best Actor" at the CAT awards. Since then, I have appeared in Pinter's "The Birthday Party", Moliere's "The Forced Marriage", did a monologue for V-Day, a duolog for "Damned if you Duo 4", and got my best ever reviews for my part in The Role Model (in which I did not speak!)WritingI've been doing some writing of late, as well. I've even got some stuff published.Including my book! Johnny Phillips, Werewolf Detective! Buy it, you know you want to....
