Inger & I enjoy spending time watching DVDs, listening to music and watching the occasional video on our entertainment system, which comprises of the following components:
We have a large collection of books, and my book database may be available to browse in the future.
Most of my stuff is Science Fiction, with a bit of fantasy from my younger days, as well as a smattering of other genres. Some of my favourite authors include: Isaac Asimov, Iain Banks, Steven Baxter, Greg Bear, Greg Benford, K.J Bishop, David Brin, Kim Newman, Alistair Reynolds, Dan Simmons, and Vernor Vinge.
I ride a Trek Soho 4.0, with a Shimano Alfine 8-speed internal hub gearbox, and disc brakes.
Inger rides a Giant Cypress City.
Brendan rides a Giant Animator 16.
We're regular users of Melbourne's Metlink public transport system. We are well serviced by trams at our apartment (seven routes past the front door; 3, 5, 6, 16, 64, 67, 72), and it's a fifteen minute journey to Flinders Street railway station.
I have a Yearly Zone 1/2 Metcard. Inger has a Yearly Zone 1 Metcard.
We've been Car Free since September 2005.
We're members of Flexicar Car Sharing.
we've previously had a MY03 Subaru Liberty Heritage wagon, and a more stylish yet less reliable MY99 Audi S3.
Being a computer geek, I've obviously got a fair collection of hardware lying around. Here's an (incomplete) list of stuff that is in use:
We have a reasonable large and diverse music collection, including: ambient, blues, pop, rock, soundtracks, trance, and techno. One day I may put my CD database on the web, which makes it easier to work out who borrowed my CD's.
We've got a reasonable collection of DVDs, both movies and TV series that we enjoy.
I currently use a Canon Digital IXUS SD750 camera to take my photos. We previously owned a Digital IXUS S100, which served us well for nearly 5 years and over 5500 photos before the screen developed a crack and ceased to function.
