Hi. My name is Master Harpuia. Except it isn't really, because that would be stupid. What I should really have said was that my username is Master Harpuia. As it happens, my real name is Phil.

Oh, well.

Anyway, where was I? Oh, yes. Here is a picture of the real Master Harpuia. [[1]]

I support evolutionism, and believe that our high carbon dioxide emissions pose a great threat to our planet, not only because of global warming, but also because carbon dioxide, when dissolved in water, can form an acid that can kill many forms of marine life, amongst other things.

I'm into rock, heavy metal, braindance/IDM and downtempo electronic music. Fave bands are Nirvana, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, System of a Down, Plaid and Boards of Canada. Warp Records is a cool music label.

I speak English, Spanish and French, and I'm learning Japanese.

Currently working on: Super-Hard Mode on Wario Land 4, and fixing my Harvard Mini Colour TV Game (from 1978!).

Whitehead's trogon (Harpactes whiteheadi) is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae. It is endemic to the island of Borneo, where it is an uncommon resident in primary mountain forest. One of Borneo's largest trogons at 29 to 33 centimetres (11 to 13 inches) long, it is sexually dimorphic. The male is crimson on the head, nape, and underparts, with a black throat and grey chest; the rest of its upperparts are cinnamon-coloured. The female is similarly patterned, but cinnamon-brown where the male is scarlet. The species is primarily an insectivore, but also eats various plant materials, including fruits and seeds. Other than the timing of its breeding, typically between April and June, little is known about its breeding biology. It is classified as a near-threatened species, with population numbers thought to be declining and habitat loss a key threat. This male Whitehead's trogon was photographed perching on a branch on Mount Kinabalu in the Malaysian state of Sabah.Photograph credit: JJ Harrison
