Hello! my name is Bill Taylor

Qualifications

• Academic Masters Degree in Mathematics from U.N.S.W. and a Dip.Ed.

• Community Justice of the Peace (in N.S.W. and Qld.)

• Sporting Nordic Ski Instructor Level 1

Work

• I love teaching and seeing the light go on in the eyes, the satisfaction form helping others achieve and learn isa palpable and wonderful way to "make a difference"

• I love designing and software, creating a dynamic thing that performs arcane functions for people separate form its author.

Pass times in order of preference

1. Cross country skiing, including ski touring and having a Guiness after a long hard skate. I really like the cold country

2. Bushwalking, or wilderness experiences, especially canyoning and in general in Oz and overseas, particularily in Nepal and South America, the harder the better... on the other hand the older the wiser.

3. Thinking about deep things like relativity, How long a day is and how to work my video player. "Explanations should be as simple as possible but never simpler." Albert Einstein

4. Listening to classical music and reading books and...

5. Writing things
   • The moon that isn't
   • NIM: How to get a free drink in Babylon
   • Blind Mind
   • The Importance of poor spelling and plain text

6. Fine dining and wining and then feeling remorse over the cost of it all.

7. Surfing, it used to be way up there on top...

Afflictions

• Strong protestant work ethic.

• No long term plans except "... Died 105, skiing accident", "Life is what happens while you're busy makinng other plans" John Lenon (and look what happened to him).

• Being as romantic as a traffic accident.

• Normal benign paranoia.

From the opium of custom to the ledgers of extremes
life is never what it should be and seldom what it seems.
