If it's robertsinclair.net I have some comments...
It feels very self-serving, like you are trying to convince yourself and everyone else that you know what youre doing.
I would think anyone coming to this site is going to want to see work before anything else with minimal fuss. Not a bunch of hot air and name dropping with little focus on any actual work.
Once you dig in it is nice, I like the portfolio interface (except for the dropdown) why is it needed when there is so much empty space in that box? For that matter it doesnt even work correctly, it just stays open when clicked unless you select a cat.
Overall this site confuses me, it feels all over the place. I think it is the wrong direction if you are looking for art direction & design work. It looks nice and has some bells and whistles but I think they get in the way if you are not selling yourself as a flash guy.
I think you should have done it in HTML with a little flash for the portfolio. Oh and btw, every html site does not have to be an "all-XHTML/CSS site that validates to the latest standards"
Hope that didnt sound too mean, just trying to be constructive.
