splash: 4/5
you obviously put effort into this, but it's a little too hard on my eyes. it's hard to read the requirements because they're sideways and in a small font. (but hey, it looks cool.)

layout: 21/25
i like how this is set up. it's different than most layouts. i don't like the grid background, though- it would look so much better if you just left it black. trying to read the "there is something lurking in the back of my mind" part is an adventure in itself. also, your "dailies" link buttons to other sites look a little weird because they don't match your layout. you should customize the main scrollbar (for the whole browser window) to match your site. i don't like the mouseover arrow scrollbars (for lack of anything else to call them) because there's no way to quickly scroll through a page or find something that you're looking for- it's better just to have regular ones.

content: 15/15
content is a dream come true. you actually have stuff that i want to read, which is a rarity. i went through all the pages and loved every minute of it. your satire is great- you should add more.

graphics: 8/10
edgy editing. the scribble outline on joff is okay, but your graphic would probably look better without it. your graphics fit with your site well.

loading time: 5/5
quick as a wink. (i love cliches.)

creativity: 5/5
everything is your own, and it's good, too. people will come back to your site because you have stuff that they can't get anywhere else- the true test of originality.

overall impressions: 19/20
this is brilliant. i feel like i actually know you from reading your writing, which i can't say about many personal sites. i spent a lot of time reviewing your site and wouldn't mind spending more - thanks for doing something worthwhile.

errors: 4/5
where's the button to tag your tagboard? i tried to leave you a message, but i couldn't figure it out.

bonus: 10/10
linked us (and we're site of the moment- wow, thanks.) and signed the guestbook. i gave you the other bonus points for various things, inc. but not limited to (in commercial-speak) lovely interesting writing and being an ultra supreme hardcore admin chick (rock on). oh, and i like aerosmith.

total score: 91/100
