About Me

My name is Richard MacManus and I'm from Wellington in New Zealand. I'm 31 and I work in the Web team of a New Zealand utility company.

The World Wide Web is my passion and - as the title of my weblog indicates - I'm particularly interested in the Read/Write Web, or The Two-Way Web as Dave Winer named it. My other current interests are:

• Writing on the Web
• Universal Canvas
• XML writing tools 
• Browser/editors (like Tim Berners-Lee envisaged 'em)
• RSS and Topics (eg k-collector)
• XML technologies
• Semantic Web
• Microsoft .NET and web services
• PIMs (Chandler and Haystack especially)
• Intranets
• ASP & now ASP.NET
• Radio Userland, Frontier

And much more...
