Clever idea. Nice execution and font treatment. The illustrations are a nice touch. I wonder, though, why he didn't have the boxes scale on text resize? I know scroll bars aren't the most attractive element(s), but in this case they are better than the text spilling over.

nice design but the code is 4/10, it doesn't scale, too static, too much clutter... could be done much better and cleaner.

I value your criticisms, and the text-resizing issue is of course valid. I would never let a client site go out with those kinds of fixed heights, but I boxed myself in on this personal site relaunch with the way I coded the quite complex navigation in a rush (especially homepage) and needed time to re-code it.

I have just fixed the resizing for text across the site. Won't test on IE until I get in the office tomorrow. Please give it a try. So, homepage and all other pages now have robust text resizing, as they should have from the start.
