Disclaimer: anything published at DomPannell.com expresses my personal point of view and does not represent any of the various companies and other organizations to which I am connected.
I have no idea whether my musings (ramblings?) are of interest to anybody, but there are certain things that I have been pondering for a while now and I wanted to express some of them in writing occasionally, in order to get them off my chest. I am quite sure that much of what I write will be considered by some to be the ravings of a madman, but then as my friends in the medical field tell me, I’m only as bonkers as the next fellow and at least I mean well!
One last point: please bear with me as I am not at all technically minded and am having to learn Movable Type… I’m sure that in time I will become an expert and make the links work and everything… but in the meantime…
Hopefully I will at least stir a little debate.
Have an excellent day!

Just spotted that you are playing with the blog format - you and me also! How are you finding Movabletype to learn? Have been thinking that it might be worthwhile for me to learn at some point too! Hope you are well. Skype me when you fancy a chat.

Thanks for posting your CV, Steve. If you're looking for work, I'm not sure I can help as A) I'm based in London, B) I'm not looking to recruit and C) even if I were, I'm not sure I'd have a position for a Senior Mechanical Designer, even if they have as great a track record as you clearly do.
Great looking bike by the way.
