I'm half Dutch and half Italian. My channel only states I'm in the USA because YouTube's local versions suck, but I actually reside in Ireland.

I'm a science nerd and an atheist. All the sweeter the irony given the fact that I'm distantly related to Pope Paul IV ... What a nice man that was.

I have uploaded a lot of videos at this stage. If you want to check my back catalog, I suggest you have a look at my play lists, where I have grouped a lot of them by subject.

Happily married and proud dad to one lovely little girl.

This channel is for me to express myself and for you to respond to me. That means:

- This is not your advertisement channel. I will not tolerate shameless self-promotion and SPAM. It will be removed and I will block those who do it. Use your own channel to promote yourself.

- Although I believe in freedom of expression, I am not obliged to let you use my channel as your mouthpiece. Use your own. I'll be happy to accept criticism but gratuitous nastiness will be removed, and persistent posters of same will be blocked.
