New authors!

This is just a quick note to introduce you all to the guys I have invited as authors to the Peakfetch blog, in no particular order of importance. They're all childhood friends and constituent members of the Peakfetch music band.

Mike, the drummer of our little band, is also a bricoleur extraordinaire, always cooking up some new gadget or project that involves manual labor, sweat and lots of ingenuity. I've seen him make his own acoustic guitar, his own kite-board and many other cool thingamajigs. His latest project is the Fetch Ski (I'm sure you all see where the name comes from), which promises to revolutionize the world of alpine freeskiing (I shit you not).

Matt, the bassist of the troupe, is also our resident tooth remover (or as he prefers to be called, a dentist) who also happens to enjoy flying halfway around the world on a regular basis to go wind-surfing and skiing. His dancing rendition of "Roxanne" will knock your socks off!

Simon, the guitar player and main composer, is the guy who is always ready to spearhead an excursion into the middle of nowhere, just for the hell of it. He is our chief explorer, party organizer and also happens to be one hell of a high school teacher.

Lest I forget to actually introduce myself, here's my little biography. Having been called Marc from the youngest age, I still go by that name. I'm also the lead singer and lyrics writer in our impromptu little music organization. Professionally, I walk the fine line between geography and archaeology, eeking out my living as a youthful scientist. I'm also happily married (or so my wife Agnès tells me. :)) and we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our first kid in august (2009).

That's pretty much it! Welcome to the new authors!
