This site not only serves as my portfolio and a place to keep folks up to date about what’s newsworthy over here, but is also a sandbox to play with all sorts of new Web tricks. I’m the guinea pig so my clients don’t have to be!
Anyway, as things tend to be a little cutting edge around here, the site is best viewed in the latest browsers, like Internet Explorer 7 instead of the awful IE 6 or (gasp) 5. But why not do yourself a favor and use a good browser: Safari.
