Hi all. Reason why I didn't update the SW site is because I'm considering to re-aragne some things. Thing is that I don't really like the project collumn anymore. At least a big part of it.

I'm thinking to change this website in to a more portfolio (new one) like website (Indexhibit style)/fresh style.

While mentioning this to some colleagues/friends...there were a lot of contra's.

So that's why I give you a chance to say yes or no

DO VOTE!

I'll be back in a few days...after visiting CPH. Jepah!

Hi regular SW visitor. I'm really sorry for not updating this crappy website since ages. Due to lack of time, CS3 fuck ups on the new macbook pro and a lazy ass called me... I wasn't able to upload stuff.

From now one, there will be regular updates again.

After your daily sterkwater check... go and visit formfiftyfive. These guys and girls give great links!
