    Hi, nice minimal site, although you need some work on your fonts.
    I would suggest using pixel fonts. If you are then there is a problem as they are pretty blurry. Remember, most pixel fonts need to be aligned on a whole number.

    so if your font is at X 50 and Y 152.5 you will want to change the Y to 150.

    Good site. Maybe make some roll overs on the contact and resume buttons.

    well yeah... you should use pixel fonts, or if you don't like them then atleast try a bigger font size, the text is realy unreadable, and i realy don't like that scroll, that auto-scrolls when mouseOver.... I like to scoll as much as i want and when i want... I HATE THAT SCROLL !!!

    PS: The overall outlook of the site is poor, 4/10...

    what do you mean by outlook...
    as far as the scroll... on press would probably be better.

    I mean that it's realy simple... Don't missunderstand me, i like simple sites too, but this one is somehow out of place ( the alligment of the text and everything, dunno, just weard...), try adding more graphics or dunno what... don't make it look all "pale"...

    nice design but too small, fonts too small, that's bad, it's modern but not functional, you get tired of a site like this very fast. Don't like the fact that you have to press back all the time. Also the back button should have a defined area so it is easier to click.

    ok reworked the font thingy, it should be readable now.
    I will implement the use of the browser back button later on today.

    Much, much better. Its the small things like that, that will make or break a design.
    Great job.

    couple quick things,
    -roll over on "The MassStack" highlight "the birth" and visa versa
    -you need a hit area on the back button (I noticed other text buttons need the same treatment)
    -the back button can also be deceptive (i.e. if you click resume then click contact, if you see "back" you think it will go back to resume but instead goes home) Maybe change the word to "Home"?
    -over all nice, simple but effective
