More Street Art please!
Something I really miss from Shoreditch when I’m in Amsterdam is Street Art. I’m always happy to see some turn up on blogs (Iain is known to post quite a bit of it, and so is Russell).

Skipintro-intro returns
While cleaning out the attic the other day I stumbled upon this stupid-flash-intro-parody-thing I did back in 1998 in a state of complete sillyness. A certain Sean forced me to put it back on the Interweb, so that’s exactly what I did.
