Who is Chris anyway?

Make coffee (and mine is better than anyone else's!)
What has been your favourite Boomworks project so far?
I have thoroughly enjoyed working on the LIfehouse at RPA project. I believe in Lifehouse and its vision for delivering a different, more comprehensive cancer treatment; it is great to be in a team delivering part of this vision.
What's your favourite website ever and why?
BBC circa 2006: A time when the BBC was allowed to pour almost endless money into their site. They explored the technical boundaries of what was allowed and then pulled it all back together through an extensive UI program which is still ongoing. Unfortunately the British government eventually turned round and asked why building games was a good use of taxpayers' money and scaled back the overall site.
