Profile

My name is Steve and I moved to Nottingham in June 2004 after living more than 20 years in London (I am originally from Oldham but was brought up in north Shropshire, hence I support Shrewsbury Town, and spent four years at Lancaster University). I actually live in Sneinton, and love the windmill (http://www.greensmill.org.uk), and have already paid my pound to be a friend of it. FRiends Of Greens mill are called FROGs.

I am a freelance journalist and I write about technology related stuff.

I am a big science fiction fan. I also go to the cinema on average more than once a week. I prefer SF and horror films but I do watch other films too. My all-time favourite TV show is Blake's 7 and I am one of the organisers of the Redemption series of multimedia SF conventions (http://www.smof.com/redemption) and Orbital, the 2008 Eastercon (http://www.orbital2008.org). I go to loads of other conventions and pictures from them are on my web site at http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson/conpix.html

TV programmes I am currently watching include Fringe, Sanctuary, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Robin Hood, Pushing Daisies, Heroes and House.

I play pool for the Queen Adelaide on Windmill Lane. I like real ale, so am pleased to have pubs such as the King William IV, Old Moot Hall and Bunkers Hill within walking distance.
