Can anyone get the thesiscolossal.com link to open in iOS? I get nothing but a blank page.

I also get a blank page in Chrome on my desktop. The whole site seems to be down right now.

Instantly recognized the name as a photographer (one of my absolute faves on flickr),
Had no idea about his music though,, and that he is a member of Ladytron!

Fascinating and talented fellow.

Reuben is a disgustingly talented dude, and was a distant childhood friend from back in the Wirral. I remember that contrary to the expectations of most first-generation immigrant parents, he was super into music and art as a teenager.

He's a few years older than me so I was more friends with his younger brother, and we all spent a lot of time at parties playing the family's vast quantities of imported/pirated videogames (you know, like a Famicom with hard drive containing every single SNES game in existence). Awesome to see him do so well.
