What is your favourite website?

I discovered Guitarmasterclass.net a few months ago. It鈥檚 an online archive of instruction videos covering pretty much anything you could imagine, but also with loads of classical and flamenco guitar videos, which is rare on the net. I鈥檓 also an e-Bay nerd and love looking for gadgets.

What is your favourite gadget?

A few months ago I picked up my Hitachi PJ-TX300 high definition projector and now any screen under 100 inches just isn鈥檛 enough! The days of watching football on a blurred square image have gone 鈥� the quality is amazing. Another favourite gadget is my 4.9m Flexifoil Blade powerkite.

What鈥檚 the most useful website for work?

My job involves a lot of work with Microsoft Project and Excel, so most of my searches are to improve my knowledge of these.

What was the last track you downloaded?

The new Kings of Leon album 鈥淥nly by the night鈥�. It鈥檚 awesome and I鈥檝e managed to get tickets to see them in June. I can鈥檛 wait! I鈥檝e also recently downloaded Seasick Steve鈥檚 album and 鈥淭he Complete Smiths鈥�.

What was the subject of the last email you received?

I鈥檓 always looking for cheap holidays and the website Travelzoo sends out its top 20 holiday deals every week, which reminds me of all the places I can鈥檛 afford to go.

Social networking or face-to-face?

Face-to-face. I鈥檓 a member of Facebook, but it鈥檚 a bit much when you get friend requests from people you鈥檝e never even spoken too, so I don鈥檛 go on that much any more.

Who is your favourite blogger?

I read a few on the BBC Football website.

What鈥檚 been the best link/video/viral you鈥檝e ever been sent?

My friend sent me this video of extreme base jumping in wing suits.

The last thing you bought online?

Gig tickets. I鈥檓 going to see AC/DC at the O2 in April, and BB King in June. The real pick of the bunch though is Carter USM at the Brixton Academy in November.

What was the funniest piece of spam you ever received?

This involves the former president of the USA, George Bush.
