Ok - design critique. It's late, not looking at the code just yet. Keep in mind, this is one designers opinion, and as in most critiques, I have a tendancy to only mention the stuff I don't like, not the stuff I do. Overall, looks really nice. (P.S. - test browser is FF1.0) No comment on the use of tables to do the layout. I've done it, I don't anymore, enough said.
First off, splash screen. I don't like em, and holding to the 3-click rule, you've just wasted one. Food for thought. home page - this looks nice. fonts scale pretty well, resize dosn't kill everything. The flash - not a fan, but being that it is intended to be that small, It wouldn't bug me much or cause me to close the site branding page - I don't know what those icons are. Kinda bugs me. title's on the links would show up as a tooltip in firefox, this would help if you want to avoid using captions. same thing on the print and web pages. Web is less of a problem, because here at least I understand they are screenshot thumbnails. bio looks nice, resume bugs me. I tab browse, I don't like windows being opened for me. Not sure there is a good solution with your fixed size layout though. resume itself (html) looks good (I don't do PDF unless I have to. no matter how fast it opens today, it's not fast enough sorta thing). Background is a bit odd to me, cause the ?paper folds? move and end up in unusual places. font size is in px. Since I use FF1.0, I can resize it. Users of IE won't be so lucky. All in all, the look itself is really nice. For a new design, I kinda question the use of a table layout, but that's a question you'll need to answer for yourself based on your own needs. Hope some of this is helpful, if not, feel free to delete.
