Blog of Andy Warburton

Welcome to bomb.org.uk the blog of Andy Warburton, a 28 year old geek from the UK. I'm a Web Developer and Online Usability Expert specialising in e-commerce sites. I'm a web standards enthusiast and Mac obsessive. I'm also a keen traveler and have just returned from 3 months traveling through China, South East Asia and Australia.

I'm married to a beautiful young lady (who also has her own blog here). We have a little boy on the way - due in June 2010 - and are looking forward to all the challenges that parenthood presents (apart from the lack of sleep - that, I'm dreading!).

You may have noticed this blog has been going for quite some time - I started this site in 2001 (although it has changed names a few times) just before I met my wife and have used it to chronicle much of my life since then. If you have nothing better to do, check out the archives - they make for quite a read!

Naturally, I'm a geek, so you can follow me on various social networking sites including Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin. You can check out my antisocial bookmarks at Pinboard.in and subscribe to this blog via RSS if you are that way inclined.
