Hello World!

Hello?

*tap tap*

Is this thing on?  

Hmmm, I wonder what this button does.

Ah.

I won't try that again for a bit.

Err, hello. After wandering the blogosphere for some time, and mugging posts with silly comments and games of Mornington Crescent, I finally decided to create my own blog, so I could pontificate on the world.

For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm an Englishman who has drifted to Finland, and now work at the University of Helsinki as a researcher, in statistics, ecology, evolutionary biology and such things.  I have mainly been hanging round the science blogs, so I'll probably post on these matters, but there will also be other things that take my fancy as well (like possible uses for cat hair). 

OK, now I have to think of something to write about.
