This week, we wanted to get hold of Aaron Bassett – the web designer that confessed to creating the ingenious and very funny website – BoycottScotland. Aaron is an award winning web developer by day, and a part-time web technology columnist and blogger (plus full-time twitterer) by night! (He’s a really busy guy!) Aaron is based in Glasgow.
