This is going to be fun & easy.
You’re probably at home and bored. You don’t know what to do on your day off… right? Well…
… I just did a massive redesign of my portfolio site. Now, it actually looks good.
This is where you come in: Please look at it. If you see something wrong, out of place, a typo, something I shouldn’t say, something I maybe should say, something you like, something you dislike… let me know. Leave a comment or shoot me an e-mail.
Ive been looking at this for a while and am virtually immune to noticing anything wrong now. I’ve gotta take a break… and stay awake for saftey’s sake.
Thanks in advance 
… and I have 100 copies of card #2 printed, thanks to Staples.

Yeah, much nicer than last week, more consistent font and brand. I see you are an 11 item renaissance man, could you get it down to 7 + or – 2 specialities? I think the non-pro items are fine, but maybe you can find a way to combine one or two topics (graphic design/new media, custom labes/package design, product photo/event video, cake baking bike racer??). You almost fit the whole front page on a single screen (above the fold/scroll), but you could shorten it a bit to reduce the need to scroll to find only redundant items. Ccould you shorten the twitter half? Your twitter updates are as prominent as the text box on the left, but the left is more important and won’t be as dymanic, so maybe you could reduce the twitter font a couple notches.

Thanks Scott,
I chopped the header and footer down, reduced some margins, and changes font sizes. I’ve got it all basically on one screen now (at least for the home page).
I bolded the box on the left to make it stand out more so that it doesnt get as washed out as before. Good eye on that.
I like the length of the scrolling images. When I had less items images it went by too fast… and i wasn’t a fan of a slower rotation. So I think I’m gonna keep it the way it is right now.
I just updated it.
Thanks again!

DOOD. You totally stole that from my away message. Don’t even deny it. You know you did. But the second mouse does get the cheese. It’s true.

Slow down the flash speed… just as I’m figuring out what the picture is and what the label says, it’s gone. Well except the cake… I had that in about a nanosecond…

Just my 2 cents.. not picking on you. The site looks good.
I need to convince Pk to let you revamp the NEMBA site..
“As of 12/20 we have began receiving shipments of the final product”.
- We began receiving shipments
“which will be viewed and hopefully purchased by sports”
- Take out hopefully – IT WILL be purchased. Confidence, exude it!
“These are the sites which I developed and/or maintain for school projects”
- Below are websites I have developed… (just a bit less wordy)
“I began dreaming big and educating myself on as much as I could”
- remove the word on
“often times waking up to my face being implanted in book about layouts or typography”
often times waking up to find my faced implanted in a book about…
“At this point, I have virtually eliminated the need for an outside agency”.
-remove that comma

yeah, dude, just checked the changes, I like.
I’m going to be teaching at Harvard for two weeks in June and living in Cambridge, you around. I’d love to go for a ride. I might be limited to a singlespeed but I can spin it out.
