Typo ('am'):

I am a Virginia Tech Hokie, and I know am coming to Longhorn Country where I am sure the tailgating is top notch, but I have seen some of the best.

"I am skilled in many technologies such as Adobe Photoshop CS3/CS4, HTML 4/5, XHTML 1.0 Compliance, CSS 2/3 Compliance, Windows XP/Vista/7."

If it were me I'd drop all those versions (just say Photoshop, HTML, CSS, Windows) and focus on the marketing side, which seems to be your strength. Good luck!

Your site is nigh unreadable, switching all the various letter-spacings off makes it 100% more readable.

CSS typography rule #1: Don't fuck with letter-spacing.

Doesn't mean they are going anywhere...Did I quit using Twitter when google came out with Buzz? Nope. Just because Facebook decides to do something doesn't mean everything else around it is dead.
