Let's Get Personal

[This didn't start off as a personal home pages project, but it looks like I'll have to get that side of things organised sometime soon ... maybe one day.]

Link to personal / family pages. (HOLD - under construction one day.)

Link to music pages and photo gallery. (Old and new tech mixture of subjects - really must get organized one day.)

Link to other heroes and formative personal highlights. (HOLD - re-building some day.)

You’ll also find me easy to connect to on WordPress, FaceBook, LinkedIn, FriendsReunited, Twitter, Buzz, GooglePlus, Diaspora and several other fora. (My personal blog feed routes to Twitter, with selected posts also going to my FaceBook and LinkedIn feeds.)
