Woohoo! We have posted 500 articles. That deserves a redesign we thought. Nifty thing in the new design is the extra thumbnail viewmode and the scramble button above. Go check it out!

Because we hit the big 500 we give away 50 original AK 500 T-shirts! To get one, you only have to do one simple thing: tell a friend about Archibald! Make him or her to follow us on Twitter, facebook, Soundcloud or RSS. If you think this is an OK deal, just mail us and we will send the Tshirt to you, wherever you live.

Thank you for the support!
