Who?
I'm Andrew Filer. This is my website, and it deals with, among other things, my photography and outdated graphic design (on products new and old). I have other sites, including trade.mar.cx, oddmart.com, the Municipal Water Board (a piece of web concept art), and the Holt Weekly News (the complete archives of the Holt, MN newspaper and a conceptual demonstration of software I wrote). I also have a book. If you'd like, you can email me.More
