About Question Everything:

A good deal of my interests, and therefore about me, can be found by skipping happily through what I find interesting in the world. That's what makes up the posts of this blog - stuff that I've come across in the news that I've found interesting enough to clip out and put up here. (At one point in time, this blog would have been a shoebox, or a battered metal file cabinet, full of news clippings, or an old terribly abused notebook. Modernity has neatened it up some.)

Conspiracies, world events. Weaponry and political figures. Strange phenomenon and funny pictures, it's all passed through here.

If you're braver, check out my writing blog, "Foreverdyingbrightly". Be warned for content, but there's even more good stuff there as well.

When I'm not reading the news, I'm a writer, graphic artist and tinkering techie. Drop me a line via the contact page above or join me on Twitter or Facebook --> linky goodness to the right :D
