hey guys, lemme know what you think...

the colors feel a little too 'old navy' to me... a little dated even.
The font needs to go... change the body copy to a pixel... too much anti-aliasing.
Hate the pop-ups... but if you must have them... center them.
Not enough graphics in the site... I'd find away to put the graphics in the site.... it's so loaded w/text... and wings... and snow.
snowmen are cool.

i like it.

I would go with some of abizzyman's suggestions.
You need a font that doesn't look too antialised, the wings are too appealing (at least in the way you incorporated them into your design), and the snow should probably go or get changed too. The way the content moves/slides is pretty cool.
You can keep it simple but make it more appealing (less boring).

hate to repeat. but the font has to go. you need something sharper.
Also throw in some pics/thumbs of your work so I know what I am about to see.
Not sure about the colors. specifically the green.
I think with a few small adjustments you will have a nicely functioning porfolio site.

good suggestions so far
when i navigate portfolios that show the work in pop ups, i'd love to be able to click through the pop ups... so i dont have to keep closing and reopening them... so a next/prev btn with the pop ups and little desc would make the site a lot more usable.
not bad at all though

Agree with the font. Also, perhaps you can find a way to show what is clickable and what is not. Colorcode, underline, whatever.
In the graphics section, for example, your work has the same text style as your copy on the rest of the site.
Man, it's new years. I should be drunken by now.

double check your copy for typos, otherwise no one is going to believe the "writing" part in the "skills" section.
skills:
Freehands and Actionscripand where's Javascript ?

it'd be cool if that rotating motion were somehow suggested by an arched form...maybe not tho...

Among the things others have said, I think you should also add a rollover state to the buttons your selection of works, just for clarity.

yep change the colors+font.
it will be cool

i agree with nick about the clickable popups. it just seems like i'd need to do something more with the popups to make them worthwhile.
oh, and your demise "logo" is not really a logo -- it's a "wordmark" (since it doesn't contain any non-typographical design elements). but that's just a matter of semantics
one more thing: it's kinda weird to me that the snow isn't masked by the frame of the site.
