Hobbies and Interests
I am an avid reader and enjoy burying myself in a good book. I also like to keep abreast of the latest gagets and hi-tech products mainly in the field of computers and games consoles. I have built my own PCs and put together a home network. I maintain an online journal (also known as a weblog or blog) at http://keithneilson.co.uk where some of my own attempts at writing can be found. I enjoy writing about world politics, philosophy and what it means to be human in a ever changing world. I also enjoy films and probably know more than is good for me about Star Wars. I also play the guitar, badly.
