I originally thought the name of the cat in the TV Show He-Man was called Gringer, and I thought that cat was an appropriate representation of my personality. Despite finding out that the cat's name was Cringer, I decided to stick to that "original" mis-heard name.

My academic interests are in human genetics (or more generally, biology), mathematical logic, and programming (as a hobby, rather than a career). This has led me to start working on a PhD in biomedical science, studying basic structures of genetic variation in the Māori population, with a more specific target being genes associated with alcohol dependance.
