Nice job, Ben! I love the usage of a .ORG for the personal domain, you don't see that too often.

I find with single-page sites like this, it's sometimes helpful to have a fixed header. (Or one that appears after the first section). Having that allows the user to jump to different sections without waiting for the controlled scroll to take them there. Maybe something to consider :)

Thanks! I've had that domain for YEARS from when I was working in the non-profit sector, so .org made sense. :) I also recently purchased reactiverabbi.io which redirects to bengreenberg.org also.

The header is an interesting idea. While I was designing it I played with different iterations of a header (e.g. on every section, after the first section, different styles, etc.) and I just never liked any of them. Right now there is a navigation of sorts on the left-hand side of each section. I'll definitely give it some more thought.
