Sphet: Thanks for taking the time to do a quick review!

The site is a bit "punchy" which I can completely understand being a bit overwhelming. I am not as good a designer as I am a programmer, so I would probably need to employ the aid of someone with finer skills than I posses to re-imagine the design with a finer touch. This is one of those things that I will have to consider for a while before implementing, but I am certainly thinking about it.

The end goal is to include more sections, one for art, programs, and a tech blog. When I have time to seriously begin those developments I will be able to re-visit the site layout. I have some freelance deadlines coming up right now, but at the end of the month I should be able to.

I did not finish my degree. I am candid about this fact and am not trying to mislead anyone, but I also don't want to stamp myself into the "reject" pile before someone even talks to me or checks my portfolio so I leave it a little ambiguous by avoiding a date or a tag of "incomplete". If you have any suggestions on how to better handle that let me know. I covered this in my tldr; post earlier, but I don't really expect everybody to read a detailed bio about my past.

Areas of interest for me are pretty vague at this moment. Many studios have a "generalist" position which would probably be a very good fit for me. I also like system architecture and tool development. I do not have a convenient "rendering", "audio" or "physics" response, I have dabbled with all of those in my hobby projects but am not a specialist in any of them. Including some of this information at the top (in more concise words) may be a good idea.

Thanks for the good luck wishes! Just hearing that I'd probably make the cut for an interview for an entry position is really encouraging.

Frob: Good call. I'll go ahead and fix that.
