Hey Matt:
I'm not normally a fan of the responsive sites, but I really like what
you've done. I think you did a great job keeping the look consistent while
compacting the content. It seems to me like most responsive design sites
I've seen feel like two+ different sites depending upon the size.
Thanks for sharing.
