About richard

I'm passionate about
My family.
An idea worth spreading
"No-one ever laid on their deathbed and said, I wish I'd done more ironing". "Complexity is your enemy. Any fool can make something complicated. It is hard to make something simple".
The TED story
Only discovered TED about 2 months ago. Watched some fascinating talks, talked to a couple of like-minded individuals about it and here I am, organising an event.
Things you might not know
Good question. I'll have a crack at most things DIY related.
