I posted my design mockup a couple months ago and never got to show you guys the final working version! Here it is!

This thing landed me a job in Palo Alto. I am moving to the bay area in less than a month and I am super psyched!

Congratulations! I don't have much to say other than it looks really nice, and very clean. One question, though: what font did you use for the stuff at the top (the "Hello, my name is..." part)? I tried to check out the source but it looks like you're using some <canvas> + JS magic to render that part, and I didn't want to dig through everything to find my answer. _smile.gif

^I was wondering the same.

It's incredibly amazing, though.

Oh, one suggestion: if you have a list of fonts like "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif", you should list Helvetica before Arial. Almost everyone has Arial, so that means it'll almost always be used, even if the user has Helvetica, too.

Sorry for the late response but for the intro text i used a font replacement technique called Cufon. There are many other techniques that you can try out but I find Cufon to be the easiest method. Here's a good resource to learn about other techniques:

Hope this helps!
