Hi Chris, thanks for the comments. I agree it's a bit of a visual mess compared to yours, kudos there. Although yours renders as a blank page in my Firefox (v12.0).
You seem like a cool guy. I would definitely consider having you as a co-founder.
Smart and humble (may even too much so ;)
FWIW I thought the design is great, because it comes across authentic and interesting, without being a riot of colors.
Sure it could be tightened up slightly, but for a personal website, you did a great job.
As for Chris, your site looks a bit crappy to me, and perhaps I'd think twice about using that as a reference on the slickness-o-meter. ;) PS your points may well be valid though.
