Kinda cool...

I've just (courtesy of Tangency, as ever), been pointed at Ulytau - a Kazakh instrumental folk-metal band. I was pointed at this song, and their website is here.

Doing what I'm good at...

For the past couple of days at work, I've acutally been let loose on real, honest to god HTML & CSS. Well, It's almost real HTML, but it's not properly POSH yet, despite everyone's best intentions. Still, it's refreshing to be doing the stuff that I know is my real strong point. I mean, wireframing, user experience design and whatnot are all well and good... but they're not as much fun to do as scrabbling together some decent HTML/CSS markup.

This kind of "putting stuff together" work is why I'm in the business I'm in.

Which tells me that at some point, I really should actually build the next iteration of my own website. It'll be handy as a learning experience, too.
