All right ... I've been debating doing this but - since I just put it up this week - I'm interested to know what works, and what doesn't.
My previous version was a Flash thingy and, this time around, I was aiming for caveman-simple. Focus on the work, and less about eye-candy.
So, here we go. Do your worst, QBN. :D

my first glace... what's up with the tight tracking on everything?
fast loading.
i like how you show your work. clean, not too small. altho i'm not a fan of the slide show style which you can not pause or choose which one you want to look at.
a bit more space around the work display area would be nice.
good work over all. and you get a happy face for that.☺- More whitespace between the header and the body copy, you mean?Continuity

I like it, nice, subtle colour scheme, simple layout presents the work well. Not much more to say really.

When i was looking through the projects, i thought that you only had the one image per project. only after pausing to read one of the project descriptions, did i realize that it was a slideshow.
put little dots or arrows so that i can advance the slideshow manually.
- I see what you're saying, and I had thought of it myself. My lack of programming skillz with jQuery kind of prevented me from doing so, though. :\Continuity
- ... so, though.Continuity

It does well to show off your work (some great stuff in there btw). Couple of minor niggles - your main menu links are a bit hidden away, logo should be clickable and slideshow should have controls.

Thanks lads, I really do appreciate this. After nine months of unemployment, I'm all about doing what I can to make myself as attract to employers as possible.

At first glance the type is the biggest problem. Condensed type is barely readable, the nav type is too small and blurry.
- Sigh. I may have to end my love affair with Tungsten. :(Continuity

Might want to stick with just one typeface too. Replace both of the ones you have with something simpler and more neutral.

the first thing I see is the Oracle thing... which tbh isn't my favourite. Not saying take it out, it's good..just don't have it as #1.
can't really find another fault that hasnbt been mentioned. Really like yr stuff.
- Cheers, mate. TBH, I'm not fond of the Oracle project, myself. Unfortunately, I've got very little to show for the last year and felt compelled to add it.Continuity
- ... compelled to add it.Continuity

Again, thanks for your feedback, everyone. It's always good to get outside input, especially from industry colleagues; it's all been very valuable. :)

you got a small typo ('Festvial') at the end of the 'Not Worth It' page.. also the mouseover navigation doesn't always seem to be responding v well (selects 2 or doesnt select at all sometimes)
aside from that, really like your work in there, great stuff
