I am creating a new blog - or an additional one

I am starting a new blog Cube In The Corner Hold your gasps. Blogisfactory is not going anywhere. I am still going to keep posting things that relate to me and my personal life.

So welcome to the new blog Cube In The Corner and tell me what you think about the idea. I would love this to be a collaborative effort with my friends in IT. Let me know what you think. And yes! You know who you are!

Anyway search for his concept art on the web, you'll find many fascinating things things.
