There are some really cool free-or-almost-free web stats tools emerging at the moment: Measure Map, Mint, and Google Analytics, and probably some others I don’t know about yet.

It’s a great relief to be back in production on The Pure Drop, after a hiatus of about a year. We’re hoping to have a first (skeletal) version of the site online by Christmas, and aiming for launch mid-2006.

The best news is we’ve just signed up Reg Mombassa of Mambo, Mental As Anything and Dog Trumpet fame to do graphics for the site.

Reg is a wonderful man to work with — probably the least precious artist I have ever met. And he lives just around the corner!

Just uploaded another 30 or so snapshots from last year’s Pure Drop film shoot in Europe to my Flickr account. Most of this batch are from Iceland, including some good shots of Sigur Rós in concert. The guys were very accommodating, actually letting us film from the side of the stage, so we got some good angles.

By the way, if you want to see some truly great photos of Iceland, go to Pascal Fellonneau’s wonderful Iceland Image Bank site. Pascal has managed to perfectly capture the bizarre combination of funky scandinavian design and frontier town that typifies Reykjavik.
