About minor9th

minor9th.com is the personal website of Simon Pearson. It's a testbed for ideas and a place for writing, music and navel gazing. It mainly consists of the following:

  • Weblog
    A chronological set of musings and links which has existed since October 2000 in various forms.
  • Photolog
    An archive of pictures taken in 2003 and 2004. Up to date pictures all live at my flickr account now.
  • Linklog
    An archive of links bookmarked from 2003 to 2006. These days I use delicious for that sort of thing. The age of home-grown solutions is well and truly over, isn't it?

About Simon

Simon

I'm a 26-year-old web producer and cake baker living and working in central London. My highly-unexciting life so far:

  • 2009: ran the Tromso half marathon, terrified the Norwegian locals via karaoke, and attended my first ever Burning Man festival
  • 2008: saw the Northern Lights. Ooh err. Sang a bit of Super Furries.
  • 2007: had my palm read in Santa Monica, which mostly involved a discussion about the queen. Groan.
  • 2006: wandered moondrunk around Diocletian's palace at 4am, and spent a windswept weekend camping in Swindon
  • 2005: talked dirty with Gabriel Yared. Graduated from the University of Surrey with a BMus in Music & Sound Recording. Moved to London.
  • 2003/4: spent an entire year mostly on a train to Reading.
  • 2002: spent a month interrailing in Europe, then sported a regrettable mohawk
  • 2001: left my hometown, Wrexham in north Wales, to start Uni in Guildford.
  • 1999: became a part-time till boy (though I preferred being called Point Of Sale Specialist)
  • 1991-1998: let's not go there.
  • 1990: survived an earthquake. 3.4 on the richter scale.
  • 1989: pulled Goofy's tongue at Disneyland.
  • 1983: was born. Wah, etc.

There's a bit more about me and what I do over at LinkedIn. One day I'll flesh this out and attempt to sound far more sophisticated than is actually the case. Until then, this is your lot.
