chris showed me his friends site years ago. It blew me away, sucked me in, consumed my thoughts and set aside a place in my future. Its a box I am yet to tick.
It reminds me of playing with all my bits of paper and glue as a kid – drawing things and making stuff. [...]

Mobile Broadband
I think I need to invest in a mobile broadband package for my laptop. I gotta get stuff done and being trapped on a locked down network isn’t working for me.
