To those, who commented on this post, I have to say that your comments were very useless and entirely pointless. However, don’t think for one second any of this has to do with you or anything you said.
I am resigning from web design (again) to participate the Dual Master Program at University of Arizona to get a MS in Engineering and a MBA. Web design will forever remain a hobby and a passion for me, but there is just no point in doing it professionally. There is too much competition.. the market is way over saturated. Also, I find there is nothing but a bunch of self righteous wanna-bes that have no interest in advancing the profession, but rather insist on sharing their deficiency of intelligence (which seems to be a growing epidemic). Oh and I forgot to mention the fact that I will be making at least 2 or 3 times the income of any web designer I know (with the exception of a few application developers), once I actually complete my degree(s).
If you would like to make a real comment about how the site could be improved, please share… otherwise, I would appreciate if you kept your comments to yourself. Intelligent opinions are always welcomed, however slamming my work is not something I take kindly to.
On another note, this project has been renamed and is in the final stages of completion:
Take care,
Sam

You are a normal thinking developer. Vandardesign.net is 100% pure garbage!
Step you game up and do not blog your work on your personal blog,,,

Yeah I would agree with >browser. The days of forcing something live are long past. Nothing about that vandar piece really intrigues me. Maybe too much worry about minimizing flash and design for seo on a section that ideally has no seo implications anyway. WOW.. maybe one day white hat seo Kool aid drinkers will understand where interactive is supposed to be used. Until then I >browser is right… don’t expose directories and blog personal about client work…. Shame on you… you know better!
