Me
[edit]Hi I'm ericmakesthree. The name comes from a band I used to play in where eric was the drum machine. I was born in 1962 and grew up in Belfast and like many of my peers flowed across the Irish Sea to London to go to University.
I live in Perth in Western Australia (the city that is further away from any other city than any other city if you get what I mean) arriving here via Sydney. I live with my partner and two kids.
I am fortunate enough to get paid to play in the world of virtuality and how to get people talking, sharing, collaborating and importantly not being too scared by the whole wirtual thing. I think that wikipedia is one of the most inspired pieces of genius on the planet. When I was a kid I used to love just leafing through encyclopedias at random reading bits here and there and being inspired.
