I think it looks lovely; however got 404 errors when trying to click to these sections:
interactive-->webwork

design --> DC gateway (had a red x? prolly my browser again, but trying to be thorough, if pedantic)

Yes but you are unlikely to hire me any time soon, whereas they might.

Then again, Snapetease has been up from day one, so I'm not that unfamilliar with the prospect of public embarassment except he didn't dance then.

Jolly good. :-)

I suspect that capitalist running dogs potential employers might view Harry Potter related items as you "finding a marketing niche" (in the bandwagon-jumping sense) which, while not true, isn't necessarily going to be detrimental to their opinion of your work and/or attitude. Smart people choose designers for their ability to design appropriately with any content.

"finding a marketing niche"
That's the hope, anyway. And in contrast to the relative dignity of the presentation, I really hope it comes across that way.

The site looks lovely.

I am pleased you put the Hogwarts stuff up like that. Now I don't have to worry about following up with those emails I kept having bounce back from your account. I have a young cousin in Shetland who is a huge Harry Potter fiend. I was wondering if you were planning on posting the Tinies in a format she could readily view.

Oh dear, my email account is bouncing things? I must investigate. Investigate and poke with pointy sticks.

(Thank you for the feedback. Still working on your scratch pads, by the way.)

Might the boucingness have been the result of putting the site up? I sent the emails (I think) in Thursday.

My attempts at getting some marching band photos to send you for the scratch pad this weekend did not work out. I had sorta figured you had put that on hold... are you still wanting me to attempt to get something to you, or have you gone in another direction?

I seem to have filled my mailbox storage quota, since I had been having to scan the Tinies on one machine and email them to myself on another. It's really vexing because my site provider isn't allowing me to clean it out in any way. Rarrrrr.

I am taking a different tack with the books, yes. I finished some prototypes last night and the look quite spiffy if I do say so myself.
