Master of Design, Royal College of Art. Three years as an IBM  
Research Fellow working on the industrial design of user interfaces  
for CAD systems for industrial design (a bit incestuous I know, but  
what the hell). Sidetracked into Smalltalk as a tool for prototyping  
UIs (because magic markers just don't cut it) and then into Smalltalk  
implementation because you couldn't actually get Smalltalk systems in  
'83. Even went to so far as to get involved in designing a CPU to run  
ST on (the ARM) and an OS or two to support it (early RISC OS,  
ActiveBookOS, muCOS etc).

One day I might even get my stack unwound enough to work on CAD UIs  
again....
