Dang. It wasn't meant to be a thing that you navigate through - it was just a little preview of the actual portfolio page. I guess I didn't communicate that clearly. Thanks for the feedback.
I just thought I'd chime in that I thought the carousel looked good and it was pretty apparent that it was just a grab-your-attention thing, but that the content was further down the page. Other than the issue of screen scrolling horizontally (I also had a vertical strip of whitespace fixed to the left of the page) it looks pretty good
