Pretty Nice man. I really like the idea of the navbar only changing.

The very simplistic concept is great!

The overall design is a little too bright, in my opinion.

I really like the lightbox effect to display previews of your work, but it seems to cut off the previews (or is that done intentionally?).

I really like the way you have the functionality of the site set up. It is very cool, and simple (and therein easy to use). It is a nice, clean design and overall I like it

It is very hard on the eyes though. I'd tone down the colors a bit, they are way to bright for my tastes right now.

Hope that helps

That is a really nice site! I have to say, very good job!
The only thing that I would change is your projects. You should put a "Launch Project" or variation of that, below the image in the Lightbox linking to the actual site.
Also, I would recommend adding a CAPTCHA/email form, instead of a direct link. I had a direct link to my email for a couple months then took it down and am still receiving a ridiculous amount of spam.
Very well done!

Your friend Borg.

Yes, I gotta agree that the color scheme is too bright, but I think that is one of the more unique yet simplistic designs I have seen in awhile. I like it as I am a firm believer in less is more.

I anticipate the launch of CSSGeek(.)net so please post in the forums when you complete...
