With Easter just around the corner and all things chocolaty on the horizon, my brain’s decided to question some of the ‘truths’ fed to me as a child - things that I’ve taken at face value ever since.

I’m talking about an egg laying rabbit here! A rabbit that builds a nest and lays decorated eggs in an act of celebration of the miracle that was the resurrection of our lord Jesus Christ! Not very Bible-ee if you ask me. More LSD-ee. And while we’re on the subject - buns with a misshapen Cross of Jesus? A branding oversight I think not.

Congratulations go out to Stefan Richter (known to many as Stoem) who told me yesterday that he’s made partner in the American company that he’s been contracting too for the last year.

But it’s no surprise. This guy’s a Team Macromedia Member and a genius when it comes to Flash Communication Server. He’s written some great articles over at flashcomguru.com and has an enviable protfolio of work.

Talk about moving-up the career ladder! Well done Stefan! It couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke.
