By the way, I used my cellphone to film this show... the same phone we used when we started From the Couch... talk about an improvement?

Get so jealous of your office. Really love that view, have you ever through about taking the couch outside, like on your garden area (the bit you were walking on) and having that view as your backdrop? So long as you guys weren't just silhouettes though. Just a thought!

I heartily approve of the Fatboy Slim background music.

Absolutely fascinating video. Thanks for the insight!

@Liam -Great suggestion, something we did try that way back when, but it wasn't the best due to the sound. BUT we do have a microphone on order so hopefully we can bring more out door footage to the screen.

@Chad @Kyle - Thanks for the comments guys :)

@Mare - Oi vay, you've caught us out!

Werd! That was cool - its nice to see how it all comes together - kinda good to get a sense of scale to the place :)

Its also makes me jealous every time I see that view. lol

Ditto what @Liam said, people would die to have a view like yours, or spend a fortune on setting up a green screen so it looks like they have one ;) seriously.. in summer you need to make use of that gorgeous view!

Hope you don`t mind guys but I am taking a screen shot of your site for an article I am writing for Smashing Magazine. The article is entitled "50 ways to get your site noticed"

Thanks and keep up the great work.
