New site design
My site has undergone a bit of a metamorphosis over the past few weeks, from this about a month ago to this, now.
Many of my original criticisms have been addressed, at least in part. I'm still tweaking things, but I think that I have reached a point where I am satisfied enough to feel comfortable turning my attention to other projects.
At very least, I think the new design is much more Zen than the old one.
Obvious influences include Mark Pilgrim and Philip Greenspun.
What do you think? Like it? Hate it? Suggestions? Does it display correctly in your browser? Let me know.
I'm also making the Movable Type templates behind the site freely available.

I think the permalink suggestion is a good one.
I'll add that to my list of tweaks.

Think it looks really good. Safari likes it (but you knew that already).
My only comment is that it's hard to get to your permalinks from the main page, with only the tiny 'Permalink' buried down below the bottom. You should make that more prominent, or make the enry titles links themselves.
That's what my PhD in shitty usability tells me, anyway.
