His super 8bit, programmer style websites serve absolutely no function, and how awesome given the corporate nature of most web content today? They are very basic, playful and  interactive designs that cater to your A.D.D. appetite. The novelty will wear off quickly, and some may be a little visually overwhelming at first (epilepsy peeps beware), but check it out to teleport yourself into a world where MS Dos meets winamp visualisations in bitmap neon.</p><p
