About to launch my new portfolio site, let me know what you think.

I wanted to keep upfront info concise, and have the majority of the site dedicated to the portfolio projects.
I realize there is currently a disconnect in the prominence between downloadable PDFs of the projects (intended to be a secondary offering) versus the primary intention of the site (to view the work online), which is reached through a pulldown menu in the upper left. The prominence of these two items should switch, or I may consider removing the downloadable PDF versions altogether.
The downloadable PDFs of the portfolio are only about 65% complete, but the online version and everything else should all be there.
The intention of the site is to act as more of an online resume, for Creative Directors to review when searching for employment candidates. (In other words, not explicitly trying to score one-off freelance gigs.)
That said, the design of the site itself is not intended to impress with a lot of bells and whistles or visual extravagance – I’m okay if the design seems a little corporate or even “boring”, I’d rather have people remember the work than the website design.
Although the layout and functionality of the site are simple, I built the site in Flash instead of HTML because I’m not an HTML coder, and didn’t want to fumble through Dreamweaver and make compromises to produce something I’d consider barely passable.
The framerate on Macs is abysmal unfortunately (works fine on PCs), a problem I’ve noted in the site’s colophon.
