Benway In Person... Well, not quite, but... you know
So Just Who Is Benway?
My name is Steve,
I'm 38, and live in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, having moved from Milton Keynes, Bucks, to live with my girlfriend Andrea.

(about 50 miles north of London). though I grew up in the small village of
Deanshanger, just outside of Milton Keynes.

and if that didn't scare you enough..
Here
is another one.
Now if that didn`t totally freak you out, you can see and talk to me in my
Webcam Chatroom , if you like. I am in the chatroom right now. There`s a really interesting and funny bunch of people
who hang out there with me... most of them have webcams too. If you don't feel like chatting, but would like to know what's on
my mind today, you can read my daily updated weblog. Truth is, you'll get a much better idea of who I am and what I'm about from the weblog than from this page, and better
yet, you can leave comments on the daily posts.
Hobbies and Interests
I`m a musician, artist, writer, and all round creative person, though I have several
other hobbies, including
Amiga Computers,
(to see a rundown of my setup, click
Here)
...
Angling
... CB radio, and am also into
Formula 1 motor racing, and call me sad if you like, but I enjoy WWF Wrestling too. (I can`t help it... it`s just too funny.)
As you know, I`m a musician, artist and writer, so I`d like as many people as possible to have access to my work, and
putting it on the web seemed like the best way to get it noticed. The thing is, there`s an
awful lot of musicians etc sites already out there, most of them languishing in obscurity. So...
I`ve found that by adding lots of other content, a lot more people come here, some for the
webcams, some for the games. It gets the site noticed, and more people become aware of my
work. Also, at the end of the day, I love doing web design, and am constantly looking for
new and interesting things to add to the site. It would be such a waste to have just done
the section with my tunes, and then left it at that.
Ultimately, one way or the other, I want to be famous, and while I may not be a household name,
an awful lot of people have heard of me to some degree, on the net.
Other Stuff

By the way...if you are wondering about the odd colour scheme on this site,
it matches my Amiga desktop. Take a look at these screengrabs and you'll see.
And finally....the name, Benway.
Dr Benway is a character in William Burroughs' book 'Naked Lunch' (The film
version does Dr Benway no justice at all).
His mad sense of humour appealed to me, so I used Dr Benway as a handle on
the CB. Then when I got on the net, and started using IRC, I shortened it
to just Benway...to save on typing.
I can be contacted at
benway68@hotmail.com
or on
ICQ: 32158049
Yahoo Messenger: ambiguous_intentions
MSN Instant Messenger: Benway68
Or better still, simply come into the
chatroom .
