Hi. I'm Matt, a geek from Bristol. If you wanted to find out more about me, you've come to the right place. If not, how on earth did you wind up here?

Welcome

I’m Matt Gibson, a creative geek from Bristol. Some people know me as “gothick”, for fairly obscure reasons1. This site is mostly for my sporadic techy blog, a collection of random musings and notes-to-self.

The Day Job

Mostly, I’m a computer programmer. That’s my day job, and often my hobby. I’ve written everything from pension systems to Facebook applications.

Jogging

I finished the “Couch to 5K” running programme with the help of my friend Benjohn’s iPhone application, Get Running. Then I carried on. There’s more about that on my other blog, over at Matt Gets Running.

Writing

I’ve also written reviews and interviewed celebrities for the BBC, tried to demystify some of the sillier things in science and technology for Null Hypothesis, and recently broken into print in Defining Moments in Science and 1001 Inventions that Changed the World.

Photography

Sometimes, I take photographs well enough to get paid for it, too. My photos have appeared in everything from blogs to national newspapers. Browse my stream on Flickr.

1I have never put on white pancake makeup and eyeliner. Maybe a touch of nail varnish every now and again, but that’s as far as it’s gone.

Social Stuff

You can…

I’m also curator of sentences at Unique Sentence. It’s a long story.
