If you're trying to make it look like a newspaper, and I assume you are, then I'd justify the right and left sides of the columns. You have them centered now which makes it look odd.

I also think you've got too much content. I'd guess you have about 20 seconds of people's attention. Stick with a handful of your top accomplishments and focus on those.

The "you like me" is broken up across two columns, but I'll bet if you move it to the second column, you can fit the whole thing there.

oh, and lose the animated .gif. It's distracting.

I've been curious for a while— what is the significance of "Rognog"?

Are you using it in the same way the Urband dictionary defines it?
"A noun that can be used to substitute any noun."

Just wondering!

I agree that the columns should be justified (maybe force-justified) and there needs to be a bit of white space between them...as is, it's a bit hard to read.

But cute otherwise!

Rognog is a character in my last major sci-fi writing effort. He is the "distracting animated gif" (you hurt Rognog's feelings, Jeff!).

I can't justify the columns, as much as I'd like to. My formatting ability is severely limited. My website is template-based and I don't know HTML.

As to the amount of content, I have many things going on the VO, writing, and production fronts. I include all of them because the wonderful, numerous relationships I have cultivated over the years are based one, two, or all three of these facets. To exclude one of them would exclude many of the readers.

Thanks for your input!
