Hi  
Of course, got this the wrong way round. Ask a question, then introduce myself! Following the friendly example below I’ve answered some of the prompting questions:

Who: AJ Malone, Anthony  
Where: Lecturer in CAAD and Studio for the Architecture programmes at Liverpool John Moores University  
What: I use SketchUp in my teaching and most parts my design thinking.  
Why: Elegant simplicity in concept; low level of prior knowledge and expertise to achieve results. Impressive sophistication and organisation possible. Open ecosystem resulting in so much additional functionality.  
Why2: Freedom: design decisions can be sequenced in the process to avoid slowing creativity.  
How good: quite good, but no medals.  
GeekSpec: Win7 64bit/Core i7/8Gb/GeForce 440 Ti, and a few others.

Life: Architecture/Design/Art/Football (Everton, NOT Liverpool!)/Cats/Gardening-Cultivating (new to)
