Jeremy Koempel has been around the Standards scene for a while now. The previous design of his personal site had been featured elsewhere, but left me a little cold -- professional, but unfinished.
With this iteration I think he's hit the target. I'm always a sucker for red and grey, but with this design I think it's the imagery the Jeremy has used that really brings the site to life. Together with a clean, content focused layout (which isn't revolutionary, but does it need to be?), it creates an intimacy and atmosphere that was otheriwse devoid on version -1.

I really like both the design and the personality of the site, with the home page being particularly well thought out. That nav needs a little tweaking though. The menu items with JS dropdowns don't have a value on the root link, which confused me when trying to look around from FeedReader(has JS turned off)... Otherwise: yep, good job.

Wow, to be featured here on Web Standards Awards amongst those designers and developers for whom I have utmost respect is quite an honor. Thank you all for your support and for providing a Web Standards and design resource with such integrity. - Cheers
