I can never get decent feedback from my site's visitors anymore, so here I am.

Booo.



Some of the pages are kinda screwy, but I'm working on it. Thoughts?

I'd have to gouge out my eyes if you use Century Gothic. :D
Trebuchet MS is okay, but I've been trending towards Lucida Grande & Lucida Sans or Lucida Sans Unicode lately. Funny, I think Arial looks like poo in anything less than 11px.

For the layout...beautiful illustration, very clean. My only criticism is your use of spacing. There's so much nothingness on top, and depending on screen size, your visitors will have to scroll down on every page just to read the first paragraph. I like seeing some kind of description well above the fold so I can decide if I'm on a useful page or not. Along with spacing, the font size/line height ratio bugs me, and the fixed-width links in the "links out" section.

Just a thought, too: I'd look into dynamic text images, sIFR, or embedded fonts (if that font you're using for sidebar headers is licensed for embedding) and use that for the dates on the blog area. It just looks a bit off right now with three different fonts and a variety of sizes.
