Your gracious hostJason is a web developer with aspirations of one day being taken seriously. He occupies his spare time doing most things that present themselves as possible, such as abseiling down the side of a hospital, attending Crufts, redefining the sport of snowboarding, and morris dancing. His passions include live music (all forms), ludicrously expensive whisky, and t-shirts. Mmmmm… t-shirts… He is really impressed by people who do science.
