Born in Blyth, to a manual laborour Father and unemployed Mother, I have blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair (that some say is ginger), stand five foot nine inches tall and exerting about 75 kilograms of force with every step I take. My interests in the human body got me a Bachelor's degree in Physiology from the University of Sunderland to which I sat a long bus journey every day for three years from Blyth in Northumberland.

There, I could not help thinking that minds could influence other minds as I think everything is connected through the ether as pointed out in entanglement and string theories but courses in telepathy are hard to find; and so I continued my education with doctoral research into ischaemic stroke and apoptotic cell death which, I did not complete.

Now, I find that minds can be influenced by other minds - at least through an ethernet connection - by which my interest in the free software foundation has "spawned" and so I use a Debian GNU/Linux operating system with Google Chrome web browser to "untangle" Quantum entanglement.

But it seems, all that I can untangle is the tackle on the end of my fishing line and not without a few pricks of the hook in my thumb!
