To my faithful readers (all seven of you), I’m sure you’ll be delighted to know that I am finally going to do what I’ve been trying to accomplish for quite some time: open myself up to freelance development.

If you or anyone you know is looking for a web-designer with three years of experience and who is 4/5ths of the way through his computer science major, with emphasis on intermediate ASP.NET and experimental but consistent Ruby on Rails work, drop me a line at sales@iociem.com. My focus is on clean, functional, modern web design, and cutting-edge development practices and ideas. Any interested parties can also request a full resume from the address above.

I’d like to nominate Haineault.com for a fascinating web design. The blog entry is front and center. The type is clear, large, uncluttered, and the color contrasts wonderfully. Code excerpts are clearly differentiated, and the syntax highlighting is effective, although it doesn’t appear to highlight any specific language. My only real complaint is that the gradient in the header, along with the transparent photograph of—presumably the author—feels out of place. Otherwise, beautiful.
