i'm one of those people who needs equal parts both... i need a
design outlet, and i need a technical outlet... one of the reasons i
nearly became an architect... one of the reasons i got into photo
manip... a big reason i've done the web thing...
am i both, though? that's like asking someone if he/she is a good
driver... everyone thinks he/she is a good driver, but it takes a
passenger to give some true insight...
given that, i'd let y'all decide (http://roselli.org/adrian/)... my gallery
is both a sample of my coding and my design... i try to push both
equally, but hey, who knows what somebody thinks of my design...
it's easy to say my code validates, but you may disagree with how
i use the valid elements... and it's easy to say my stuff is ugly...
that's how you see it, and i can't argue that...

jobs?
hope not...
