Well, some people will hate you for it, using flash on your portfolio
Personally, I don't think it's such a big deal.. thing is though.. there's most likely going to be a lot of people dropping out during the loading time.
Also, the first thing that I noticed, being something that made me want to leave the site right away, the animated logo.. sorry mate, but I can't stand it, really
I'd advice you to remove the blinking animation and go for a still image. And on a minor sidenote, the background colour of the gif doesn't match the background colour of the page. It might do on your comp, but the colour profile varies between different users. Just thought I'd mention
Cheers!
