If you're seeing this, it means you're using an older version of Internet Explorer, which will not display elements of this website properly. Can I suggest downloading and installing Firefox, or upgrading to Internet Explorer 7? Both will be more secure, and IE 7 be slightly more compatible.
Pic of Me I am Zang. My full name is James Gordon Nazaroff, but that sounds rather pretentious, so I usually just go by Jamie. Others obviously know me as Zang.

How does one go about describing themselves? I could take the humourous, self-depricating route. Make you laugh at my own expense. It would be hard to get across the things I want to say in humourous fashion.

James Gordon Nazaroff doesn’t even sound like my name. I know it is, and I’ve a certain familiarity with it, but the things I’ve done in my life don’t seem to attach themselves to the moniker. Who am I then? I can’t quite answer that. I think that’s something that I’ve been given a lifetime to figure out. What am I here for? There are times I feel like I’m “James of Nazaroff“, fated for something greater, something pure and beautiful. But then, sometimes I feel I am the most average, most unspectacular human being on the planet. I have nothing to be envious of. I’ve got some talent, yet it doesn’t mean two licks to me. I want to be loved and I want to be lusted after.

So other than probably boggle you you with my babble, I’ve likely done little to help you understand who I am. This website will probably only stand to confuse you more.
Nothing's playing in iTunes right now, but here's a list of what's played most recently.

Security is key.
More changes here. Mostly background stuff, and a few compliance fixes. You’ll be hard pressed to find anything on this site that doesn’t validate as proper XHTML 1.1/CSS.

As well, I’ve added ATOM feeds alongside the RSS feeds. See the buttons at the bottom?

A lot of the backend code has been updated as well, streamlining it and making it far more secure.

I’ve added a few images and an MP3 to the mix as well. I’ll be adding a few more things, soon.

Now, with added feeds!

That’s right, now you can get your usual Zang Tao-y goodness fortified with vitamin RSS!

I’ve coded RSS generators for the News, About Me, Music, Art and Photo pages. The Music feed complies with iTunes by including the proprietary <itunes:xxxx> tags, meaning it can be added to iTunes as a podcast by clicking Advanced -> Subscribe to Podcast and entering the feed address there. Links to the XML for each section can be found at the bottom of the related pages. I may in the future add a page listing all the feeds.

Other than that, I will be adding new photos and photo categories, as well as doing a bunch of work on the admin side of things.

It’s about time…
It’s been over a year and a half since I last re-designed this site, so I figured I was due for a change. So much else has changed in my life since then that I needed something different and fresh.

And voila! Here it is. ;)

On top of which, I have a sunburn.
Well, it’s been a while…

Aside from a few new songs added to the music section, there’s lotsa news in Zangland. I’m currently dating the sweetest girl I think I’ve ever met. Her name’s Melissa and she’s cute, sexy and seems to get me. She’s got a penchant for making me smile. ;)

This past weekend, we saw Nine Inch Nails live in concert, and watched the Toronto Pride parade. I think my face is two shades darker now. I avoid the sun, but it always seems to find me.
