Nice ,clean and to the point. But I half expected the pictures on the frontpage to be clickable and do something (funny|cool|impressive) or lead somewhere.
I'm missing something that shows what you are/have been doing besides just telling us.
Or am I just expecting to much? (Says the guy that doesn't have a homepage)

The open source and article pics now link, I'm working on coming up with something interesting for the switch ring.

Well, I'm hoping that's what "clients" and "about" covers, but I may actually have a link to my full resume as well.
Thanks for the feedback!

If it's meant to be an online resume it's not bad. If it's meant to be a normal website then it's too much clutter to dump all on one page. So, as usual with tech people, the answer is "it depends."

Yeah, that's basically the idea. Certainly not a "normal" website, whatever that is. Though i agree, there's probably too much on the home page. Several others made similar comments, so I'll reflect on cleaning it up and distributing the content around to other pages.
Thanks!

In concert with others, not a big fan of the font... looks very sterile to me.
The graphic from H.O.P.E (I think that is the right name).. I read the article, so I understand what it is, but, on its own, it seems very misplaced.
On a personal note.. the language listed are... interesting... Pascal and Fortran: when was the last time they were actively used?
But.. clean, easy to read.. almost reads as a CV.

I changed it, it looks a lot better in Chrome now, but I tend to like to clean look.

Well, among other things, I changed the background color to white. I was basically just wanting some sort of interesting graphic for that heading.

Agreed. Removed them.

That is the point.

For some reason I expected everything to be clickable... It isn't.
I think when you find users of your website clicking on lots of unclickable stuff something isn't right.
It may be the font family, style or color.
What's the cat doing in the contact form?
Other than that it's looking impressive 
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

That's an interesting point. I've made a few things clickable, but I like what you're saying - it's interesting how a layout can suggest a certain action.

Clickable text is now clearly denoted in blue.
Sander Rossel wrote: What's the cat doing in the contact form?
Just some humor. Yet another picture of me seemed silly. "Contact me", as in "wake up the cat". Probably a bit silly as well on my part.

Thanks! SquareSpace is really fun to work with (mostly!) and I've gotten fantastic customer support from them.

That is interesting.

I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

I like to think I can understand it, but the truth is I can't.  I've tried to describe it to my son, I'll get the blank look, then the "so like it's really, really, ...., really far then", so I guess I was successful?

I got there in stages with my lot. How far to the moon? To the sun? To the next nearest star system and so on. They know some of the numbers but I'm pretty sure they really don't understand what they mean.

I am not against any religion! That been said, why are terrorist trying to create "Islamic Caliphate" all around the world, killing innocent souls in the process?
Boko Haram of Nigeria just declared creating one yesterday. ISIS in the middle east too!

Same reasons we exported Catholicism to the West.
..farmers will not kill for anything outside of self-defense, or to protect their God. Hence, they need some external motivation.
Why?
Dunno, maybe it's a reaction to something that happened? Like someone selling arms to all sides?

You know I was wondering there is so much religion involved in war?
I guess it's easy to make people angry with religion perhaps? And also it's a more powerful motivator than mere profit?

Perhaps but if they use profit as a motivator they have to share the profit (so less for the persons in charge).
I think profit is a bigger motivator than religion but the people on top use religion so they can keep the profit for themselves and don't have to share it.
In the end it all comes down to either power or money, and very very few "religious leaders" who incite violence actually do it for the religion part.
