alright people, i'm redoing my portfolio, which is at www.pulselab.com.
do i make it html/js again, or flash? i'm not great in flash, i can make a better presentation using html, but should i do it in flash just to show that i can?
any comments appreciated.

you answered your own question. you say you can do it better in HTML/js. then there is your answer. you can always show flash capabilities, or describe them

Think about it, You want to showcase your strengths, not your weakness's. If the flash will come off weak, then I wouldn't do it that way. You can always go back and add some flash examples to show that you can do it. But I thinks its better to provide a strong piece with thought out navigation thats visually appealing.
PS. Don't use pop-ups.

they are setting it up today, I cannot give it out to you. I swear, I just started on the 18th. I'll keep in touch, I'm in Ween Hall of course.

depends on how fast and how confortable you are with html or Flash.
either way, your folio comes first, don't let site (html or otherwise) overshadow it.

I have to fill in some silly forms at Smith Hall in order to get an account it seems.

man, i hate wean. too sterile, reminds me of a bomb shelter.
but thanks for your ideas all. the new site won't use popups, i am now officially against them. mostly.

mix it up - html, css, and flash will show you're a solid all-rounder

i think i want to showcase why i'm a good all-around renaissance man, not just a boring old designer.
so why dont i use flash to show me running 400m around the track, and then into the gym to slam a basketball, and then jumping into the swimming pool and doing some laps?

your front page says the menu is on the bottom right, but it's on the bottom left...

ween is a bit sterile yeah. but for me it's a jobbie job in PBurgh to boot. I'll send you my E-mail once I get it set up
