Rex has designed games and done interactive interface programming Agency Interactive (Dallas), Scottish Power (Edinburgh), DC Interact (London), Draught Associates (London), and the Bank of Montreal (Canada).

He claims, that this is a lot more entertaining than you might think, but we re skeptical.
