About Me

David A
Imagination of a poet - communication skills of an engineer. In no particular order, I like old cinemas, Japanese gardens, playing music, giraffes, technology, films, ducks, narrow Italian streets, and trying to write stuff that's interesting to people. I've been blogging irregularly since 2005 and have had some form of website since 1998.
