What's high score? Did I break it?

Hi, I’m Jason Clarke. I’m a writer and web developer. This is my personal website, where I write about web standards, usable technology, politics, and life.
Currently, I’m working on project management, marketing, and growth initiatives for RainStorm Consulting, an agile web services & development firm located in beautiful Orono, Maine.
Previously, I owned Clarke Creative Group, where I helped clients of all sizes (especially authors and entrepreneurs) build websites and weblogs. During this time, I designed the logo and website for Media Bloggers Association, the world’s largest advocacy and promotional organization for bloggers. I also helped to plan the organization’s highly-successful BlogNashville conference, including the conception and launch of a conversation aggregation tool which garnered national media attention.
My first book, Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man (co-authored with David T. Hardy), spent six weeks on The New York Times non-fiction best seller list in the summer of 2004. The book was lauded by the Standford Review, Flint Journal, and others (read reviews) for its insightful deconstruction of pseudo-muckraker/filmmaker Michael Moore. The book arose from Moorelies.com, a weblog I created that was one of the most popular blogs on the internet during its run, logging over 5 million unique visitors from April 2003 to December 2005. Today, Moorelies.com is under different editorial control.
In addition to writing on my personal site, I also manage a food photography & commentary blog, The Living Well Report.

Current disclosures:
My current employer is RainStorm Consulting. If I ever write about a product or client that we work for, I’ll do my best to mention it in my blog. Please note, the opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of RainStorm Consulting, its agents, or clients.
I am currently testing a Nikon D80 digital camera as part of a blogger outreach program arranged by Nikon USA and MWW Group, a PR firm. I have agreed to use the camera for at least one six month period two six-month terms ending in April 2008. In exchange, Nikon USA has made no stipulations to me in exchange for testing the camera, except that I disclose the arrangement clearly. Please read a more detailed explanation of my participation in this program.
