Google Chrome in 1440 x 900.
First impression, it's very simple and I find the header font too large. Green is nice but I find this green to be too bright and it hurts my eyes a little. The background is fine, but it's so light I can barely see it. It takes me angling my screen to see what is there. I would suggest darkening it a bit. I am glad however that all your other text is very readable, it's a good font size. Nice work on that.
I think if you would add just a little bit of eye candy to this layout it would really stand out and maybe tone down your green just a little. Maybe add an image, a scribble doodle, to make it look like it's on the paper background to the right side of the page. There is a big empty gap when your pages extend farther than the two navigation columns. Or spice up your main site name with a graphic or two or make the font fancier.
Other than that with the layout I have to say it's nice, organized, and it works great in chrome. Nice job with that. I have nothing really more to add about it.
Content: Well already from your blog I can see you have a TON of info and interesting entries. Your about section is very complete. Nice work on that, only thing I might suggest is maybe add a small photo of yourself or something in there. WOW you have a large library! :O I'm amazed. lol Browsing through some of your entries you got me interested in a few of these books you have read. I'll have to see if I can find them anywhere. :D Your photoblog is really neat as well. I love seeing people's artwork, and well it is kind of a form of artwork. I think you have a real talent for photo taking.
Overall I liked your site! The only reason I knocked it down a half star is I find the layout a bit too bland, which I already blabbed on so nuff about that. You have a TON of interesting content, it's mostly blog entries but that's cool. I could spend days browsing through it all. Very good stuff, and unique compared to most personal sites, in my opinion. Your site is definitely being bookmarked, and I hope you don't mind that I'm going to link it on mine as well. :)
