Or visit Mother at motherlondon.com

It is very funny indedeed and very well done - big cheers for Chris Christmas Rodriguez - he's got my vote!
Dots Drop Spots
The Access Hollywood show reports that while dotcom companies made up 80% of last year's Super Bowl spots, they'll only represent 10% of the sponsors for the 2001 gridiron gala.
With the past few months dotted with e-casualties, many may fear they'll kick off before the kick-off.

Freeze dried food again?
The gimmick. Everyone has at least once, tried to use a gimmick. I'm not talking about dancing penguins in beer ads, but the way you put together, or in your portfolio. Will it explode when opened?
