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 you wanted the band called Gothick, they're over there.

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 and random blog.

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.

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. You can check out my portfolio on mattgibsonphoto.com, or 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.
