    Hand-coded HTML
    Basic CSS
    Basic Javascript
    Site design
    Print design (some)
    Photoshop
    Fireworks
    Basic Flash
    Copywriting/editing
    Music recording and production (esp. electronic stuff)
    Video editing
    Photography
    Cinematography (a little rusty)
    General creative brainstorming

    I'm definitely interested, but I've got so much going on at the moment that I'd have to take it one project at a time.

    Well Nathan, you laid out my skills just about right. I've done everything from creative direction, to copywriting, to design. I've worked on strategy, positioning, branding, as well as traditional and interactive advertising.

    These days I work as a freelance writer/creative out of my Brooklyn apartment. I've been operating in the virtual office realm for a while, so this sounds great to me.

    One thing I would like to add is that the picture is not really representative of me. I've got much longer hair these days, and I haven't worn that pink sweater vest in years.

    I scoured the internet for a photo of you, but you do an excellent job of hiding behind your t-shirts, or your wife's photography - a veritable Internet shadow. Thus, I was forced to take drastic measures to represent you photographically.

    So glad you're down for this!

    Hey, and you can write spam, too. We'll have to remember that.

    When the robot is done, I get dibs on naming her.

    The next time we do a cheesy training video for the Gap, you're going to be the stilted, wooden retail employee who asks if the customer would like to save 10% by opening a Gap card today.

    Sigh. How I wish I had made this one.
