Message from a mental-Greg
Today, directly in the offices of Erskine Design (where I work) and extraordinarily aware of the absence of any real force of authority, I slacked off for one whole hour. No really, I did slack off, chimp style. I put my feet up, purchased myself a tasty beverage, and slumped.
During this particularly relaxing hour of my life, I was however, not completely placid. Using the abnormally great power of my brain organ, I willed, telekenetically, my mouse to move in a rather spectacular fashion.
As the mighty mouse was moving, apparently of it’s own accord, my colleagues (who, interestingly, refer to themselves as “equals") stared in slack-jawed wonder. I flicked orange peel into their gaping orifices.
Following a period of intense clicking, scrolling, squeezing and dragging, the mouse was exhausted. Whilst my computative-organ was suffering similar effects, I beheld it’s creations. One “realigned” homepage, the combination of one section into another, and one completed transaction of a century of lovely, custom drawn Moo cards, ready for ejaculation at next week’s Future of Web Design. I was astounded.

Please excuse the fictional and slightly deranged precursor to this brief message, it’s author has been subject to an extremely busy week and some classic Burgerman sounds, and has subsequently gone insane. He did however, get his facts right. I did spend some time on this site (albeit last night) and the mighty Erskine Design will indeed be coming in your ears at Future of Web Design. The ‘development’ guys are also known to stare in a slack-jawed fashion at code and females.
We’ll be the ones wearing Microformats/Firefox t-shirts (I’m serious - Swinfield has an RSS tattoo), so come and say hi. If we like you we may present you with goodies.

Good to see that you’re keeping busy whilst I am away. If you lot turn up in Microformats t-shirts I will fire you. Or just not talk to you. Of course, I really want a Greg Wood t-shirt. You’re my hero. I’ll have one in orange, please.

@TheCollison; actually, at the time of this comment we’re leaning towards Swinbrook’s solution; T-shirts displaying a large image of yourself, with the words “Simon Collision - Author and Co-author”. His idea.
@Sam; deal.
