Bloody good site

I promised an eh10 plug for A's latest venture on the web, stop-nosebleeds.org. He's a man on a mission...to rid the world of bad techniques for stopping nose bleeds.

So, why did he start this site? What's it all about? Here's the reason, from the man himself...
We've travelled all over the world and encountered people with nosebleeds in all sorts of places. Almost all the people we've met with nose bleeds had their own method of stopping them. Mostly, however, these were bad and/or slow methods - like leaning back and letting the blood flow down your throat. When we first show people the Thumbs Up method there is often some resistance - perhaps it's just too simple - but once they've tried it, people swear by it and never look back. This website is dedicated to spreading this simple but important knowledge and thereby making the world a (slightly) better place.
There you go. Plus he gets to use all sorts of dodgy puns like the one in the title of this post, and of course the IT fave, "bleeding-edge" (like leading edge, only more so). Make his day, take a look, change your technique!

I have been dropping by your site for awhile now and I'm just curious...is it because you're freelance that you seem to be lucky enough to do nothing but travel?? I'm so jealous :)

Not doing as much freelance work these days, but my regular job with a European research consortium keeps me on the move. Far flung family and a natural wanderlust also help...

Sounds fabulous :) Go ahead and drop my name when you're hiring, haha.
