Others have already made valid points on centered text, so I won't repeat that.

There are some other things you should consider:


thin serif font (small font size or otherwise thin font) is not a good choice for inverted text. Essentially it makes reading just as hard as centered text. Think about people with old displays or cheap devices, who won't be able to read the text at all.
use some font with more personal touch, plain Georgia or Times is probably a decent choice for text heavy sites that need fast loading, but in 2015 almost every web designer is obsessed with typography. Check out the fonts at www.google.com/fonts/ There are plenty highly legible serif and sans-serif fonts that will amaze your visitors. Use contrast, pair some nice fonts, use different weights, and so on.
I assume the website is about you and it won't be really content heavy. Create a nice big hero image for your main page. Like a nice photo of a typical device you are working on, or your typical working environment. Set it as background image and put some nice big text on it. That almost always has a nice impact on your visitors.
Structure your text, use a list if you are listing things, use headings. There are plenty of options to make text look good. Plain old dull paragraphs are out of fashion today.
