I'm in the final stages of trying to get my portfolio polished up, and I'd appreciate any feedback or bug reports, especially from Mac users.
Thanks in advance =)

Eliminate the Trajan.

I like the way you show the work in the web section, maybe consider using that format for the other sections.
I started to wonder if there should be some feedback when you mouseover an item indicating that you can scroll through the screenshots - sort of like the plus icon over the QBN Public Voice. Also, maybe make the info button more noticeable, or just show the captions underneath the item.
The Flash section looks like it needs some polishing - it wasn't clear to me what a lot of the pieces were since they are provided without context or screenshots and appear to be pieces of a larger site.
In the ID section, showing all of those logo ideas feels like overkill.
In the header, red line and Arial sit uncomfortably next to the logo font IMO, I'd keep the logo and consider reworking the rest.

I thought it was an impressive portfolio. Web section was definitely my favorite. I would agree with ukit on the Flash section. It would be nice to have it all done in the same style as web, where you can see all of it inside the same page, but still impressive stuff.
Keep up the good work!

Rilly rilly niice design and illy work in your folio. I would maybe think about waiting to collect better Flash work before putting it on this site. Or, maybe even putting it in the WEB section for now at the bottom. I wouldn't dedicate it to it's own section and then show mediocre work in it. The Flash work seemed kind of basic to me(slideshow, lightning bolt animation featured as a project, and a nav bar featured as a project). I feel like your other work is so great, and when I see this Flash section, it's so-so and I'm wondering why it's even in here. Anyways, you're good at what you do, show your best pieces, get rid of the filler.

noise folio.. and I thought the same thing about the flash section.
the flash work isnt strong enough to showcase it on your site IMO

Should be a full stop at the end of this paragraph –
"For almost a decade, I've worked to inspire my clients and employers with engaging experiences in interactive design. Within this site you will find a selection of memorable projects. I hope you enjoy your visit"

Great feedback so far, Thanks everyone.
I agree about the flash, I was having trouble with that section. I don't have any pure flash work, so it's a little hard to display. I'll pull it out until I have something more solid to show.
Anybody click on the red strip on the homepage? thoughts? how does the performance seem?

It didn't occur to me to click on the red stripe... Might be nice if it did something useful when you click it. Or, if it did that animation automatically.
A few layout problems
1. the navigation at the top should slide left when I shrink my browser. Currently it collapses on itself.
2. Why don't the 3 columns at the bottom span across the full width of the layout? ie. the left-most aligned with the logo and the right-most aligned with the nav and "portfolio 2007".
3. Might be nice if there were links to the actual sites in the "web" section.
