About Me

Phil Sumpter: Bonn, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany; I'm a technological numpty, so setting up this blog is probably the most significant e-experience I've had since I got hotmail about ten years ago. However, the thirst for dialogue partners and an urge to express has forced me out of the comfort of my office into the excting (and scary) new world of cyberspace. Mal sehen was passiert!
