We now have two industrious web monkeys working full time in the Stupid Batcave. Tom Flannery is the technical primate with the web-spanners, net-screwdrivers and online expertise who is in charge of the plumbing and wiring of the Stupid cyberspace motherships - this site, and our soon-to-launch sister site, Not Stupid (url tbc). The ape with responsibility for what flows through those pipes and cables will be yours truly, Leo Murray.

We're both over the moon to be welcomed into the troupe. So far, the alpha females seem friendly...

Tom comes to Stupid from his own web development company, The Tutt Room - with a host of ethical and eco-friendly websites under his ample toolbelt.

Leo arrives via spiritual soulmates to The Age of Stupid, Plane Stupid - the climate change direct action campaign against airport expansion and short-haul flights. He also worked on the film as an animator, creating the title sequence with fellow RCA graduate, Bill Porter. Leo's 2008 graduation film, explaining the science behind the concept of the tipping point in the Earth's climate systems and the feedback mechanisms likely to lead to catastrophic, runaway warming, is here: www.wakeupfreakout.org.
