More about Conall
Conall has the uneasy feeling that he is living vicariously through himself.
He is a left-handed resident of Chicago, though he constantly departs from there on trips around the world to satisfy his passion for exploring. Conall has visited 28 countries across 4 continents and has a personal goal of visiting at least 100 countries in his lifetime.
A soccer fan, he once played at around 10,000 feet above sea-level, along the Inca Trail on the way up to Machi Picchu, Peru. Conall loves contemplating and playing with well designed products and is passionate about his black 1975 convertible Corvette. His retirement plan includes owning and operating a shop that sells only bacon, in pursuit of making the tastiest bacon possible.
More about Liam
A communications designer with print and web experience developed over two continents, Liam likes to think he is cooler than he really is. Liam runs a small, UK-based, communications design consultancy called lbdesign, where he is gaining a reputation for randomly breaking out in song during telephone conferences with clients. A reluctant customer of BT Broadband services, Liam’s catchphrase when working on difficult projects is ‘Go, go, Gadget computer!’
When not working on client projects, or making cynical jokes about the state of the political systems in the US and the UK, Liam enjoys supporting Arsenal, drinking quality ales and stouts in English pubs and spending family time with his wife and two children. And lastly, Liam also writes about print design, web design and pubs and beer at liamdempsey.com. He occasionally writes at www.thegovernancepartnership.com, where he is an associate of The Governance Partnership.
More about Meg
Is she a government drone? Wine enthusiast? A dweller of Chicagoland? All three. During the day, Meg is a public servant assigned to saving health care for the 65 years and older crowd in the States. Not satisfied with such an easy task, she spends most of her free time hating on condiments and explaining her raw onion allergy.
Yes, Meg is really allergic. She actually likes the taste of onions, but she doesn’t like the subsequent swelling of the throat. Oddly enough, cooked onions are just fine. And yes, the color of the onion matters.
See? It’s amazing she’ll have time to write for this blog at all.
