About Pete
This ad will vanish when you reload.
Male, 35, lives on the border of Kings Heath and Moselely in Birmingham, UK.
Blogs for a living. Yes really. Gets paid cash to blog. Deal with it.
Specifically on the Created in Birmingham and Custard Factory blogs.
Rides a bike and can get quite militant about it. That’s a peddle bike, not a motorbike, but used to back in the day. Got the leather jacket to prove it, if proof be needed.
Has a mild addiction to Threadless t-shirts thanks to the exchange rate.
Takes photos and is one of those photographers who hides behind the lens.
Occasionally has a beard. If freshly shaved there’s probably a reason. Keep any speculation to yourselves.
Uses a Mac but not in a fanatical way. Really can’t be doing with Windows. Thinks Linux is the only option for servers.
Makes typographical errors. Usually takes 24 hours at least to notice them.
Has a small but treasured collection of badges.
Used to be a Dillons / Waterstone’s bookseller. Now uses Amazon exclusively. Some might say out of spite. Others might say because he misses his employee discount.
Thinks Kevin Huizenga is the most criminally underrated cartoonist working today, and would continue to think that no matter how rated he became.
Thinks bright red hair on a lady is a quite marvelous thing.
Has a soft spot for overblown American TV serials like Lost, Battlestar, Heroes, Prison Break, etc but is under no illusions about how stupid they are.
While on the subject, thinks The Wire is the finest piece of serial television ever produced by Americans.
