Took me what? 5 hours? Brrr, I'm sure there are probably broken links and
mispellings somewhere. I will likely comb for them later. :)

The site looks much better, although there's still something missing and I
can't tell what it is. It looks quite empty.

"Dialog", although a valid way of spelling "dialogue" is very American. I
don't know if you are American, but to the rest of the English-speaking
world, "dialog" looks lazily phonetic. Whatever the case, it's the wrong
word since you can't have one-way dialogue - how about "one-way channel for
communication"?

It's not as busy as the majority of sites for a reason. I'm a rather serene
individual, I dislike business and clutter.

Actually, dictionary.com says it's misspelt.

one-way channel for communication isn't as dramatic, and it isn't meant to
be precise, it's meant to be ironically accurate. Even though i'm talking
'at you' I chose my words and structure to make it seem like i'm talking
'with you' in an attempt to establish rapport.

Put another way; I realize that we are not talking together face to face,
but I wan't to create that impression to lure people in. ;)

I'd make "Practial Designs" part of the page content (i.e., an img,
not a background), and make it <h1>. "What is this website" is more of
a subheading. Perhaps <h2>, but I'd be inclined to leave your <h2>
elements as is and put "What is..." a div.

Your resume is only offered in plain text. Will you offer both txt and
html?

Purple on yellow is not very visually appealing for me, but that's a
minor consideration.
