I do hope you enjoy meandering through this somewhat eclectic mix of topics - read on my friend and be a treasure and sign the guestbook on your departure. Interesting messages guarantee a response!
Just mad about my Playstation! Are you an avid gamer? Does the thought of spending hours defeating Resident Evil zombies and defending the honour of Gallowmere whet your appetite? Then visit
here.
Of course when I'm not zapping zombies on the Playstation, I'm really into Shakespeare in his original and more modern form. For a few classic quotations check this one out.
Calvin & Hobbes! Don't you just love 'em? Every mother's nightmare and every child's dream. Calvin, the little man wise beyond his years, and his sidekick Hobbes are just irresistable and side-splittingly funny. Here are some of my personal favourites, and links to more.
Games, Shakespeare, Cartoons - you must be wondering what this Magpie might do for a living! Believe it or not I'm heavily into psychological research, cognitive science to be more specific. Are you academically inclined, fancy finding out about a bit more about the area I work in? Then check these out, just a few of my favourite research sites.
There is some related research in our area that deals with the
production of Avatars - that is, virtual humans.
See the section
here for more details.
One example of these little creations has proven very popular, not so much
in academia but within various media circles. Even America's hit t.v. show
Ally McBeal has taken him on board! You just absolutely have to check this
little DANCING BABY out.
I've taken you through a bit of science, technology and literature, so I absolutely cannot leave you without the fourth great love of my life, art. A selection of my favourites to tantalise your visual cortex.
Mystified as to who Magpie is? Check out my picture gallery... of course that is, if you believe it really is me in the pictures, you decide!
And before you leave for pastures new, be sure to browse through my links page.
Thanks my friend for reading thus far, I do hope you've enjoyed this
visit and will call again, we aim to please and update as regularly as
possible. I cannot go however, before giving huge hugs and thanks to my dear
dear Catnip, without whom these wonderful pages would never have been
possible, the last thing I ask of you is that you go visit her site for
further enjoyment and education of the mind!
