Not enough about me? I've received a couple of emails from people wanting
to know more so here I go. I work in the media industry as a web producer. I've
been doing web-design since June 95. Well, like most other guys, I grew up watching
Transformers, The A-Team and Misfits Of Science. Sure miss
those 80s classics. Yes, I do own a copy of the Transformers movie on DVD.
I like anime too. Favourites include Katsuhiro Otomo's Memories, the Record

truly entertain without sacrificing style.
I must confess, however, that I'm a late John Woo and Tsui Hark fan. I never
saw A Better Tomorrow, The Killer or even A Chinese Ghost Story
in the theatres. I'm still kicking my own butt for this. Back in the mid-80s,

there is a time-machine or somethin'.
Well, that's a little insight on me. Remember, you're never too late to be
a John Woo or Tsui Hark fan.
