oops i forgot to mention that i found the homepage text of your site a bit blurry, something to do with the font shadowing?  (maybe it looks better on another browser)

once i clicked through to other links, things got much easier on the eye, nice, clean, streamlined visuals, cool, efficient, (but not too utilitarian) feel.

nice job, it frames the writing without distracting from it.

Thanks for the kind words.

I don't have any font shadowing except on the gifs.  And the font choice for text is plain old Verdana which come with every OS out there.  I only checked things out Safari and Firefox during the design and it looked fine.  Of course, the love of my life gave me a 24" iMac for Christmas and it has a fabulous monitor, so I am in a poor position to judge.  So I DO appreciate the feedback.

i read it in safari, too, and on a second look, i realise it's the beigey background that makes the text seem a bit scumbled, something in the contrast perhaps, between the background colour and the colour of the text. it's easier to read the linked pages than the homepage.

as for your pic, i was referring to your expression, not your physiognomy!

silly quibbles, really. magnificent content is what counts.

You are probable right about the background making the text hard to read.  I guess that is what happens when anything but a plain background is used.  I may change it.

As for my picture, I assume you are referring to the picture on my bio page.  That one was taken by a professional photographer in Helsinki.  I happen to like it a lot...but then, I LIKE pictures of me that make me look deadly serious.  Oh well, that's us Nordics for you ;-)

Thanks for the feedback.
