You "released" the header, that's cool

For you and pickle (or was it onion?). Anyway, I like it better, thanks for the suggestion. I am going to be adding some images to the header tonight. Just about everything else you all have mentioned I have done.

Like the new gradients in the headers in the left-hand column (they are new right?)
Not sure about that gradient in the header though. Also not sure about the little corner gradient you have in the main body. I think they would look better lighter and larger.
Did you increase the line spacing?

Yes, they are.

I was like a kid high on sugar. I made one, then another then... next thing you know, my entire computer was filled with gradient filled drawing objects.

Yes I did. I also made the font bigger in the body sections, made the name smaller in the head section, removed the fixed header, modified the email link in the header, unified some colors, etc...
That header is really bugging me though. I cannot think of a thing to do with it. I tried adding in some text based imagery, but that looked like garbage. I tried a perspective based gradient, but it looked like someone sneezed a light into the corner. I am really not sure what to do with short of usig a picture of myself with a red overlay and pasting it in the background.

Header looked fine the way it was. Keep it simple.

OK, so I can spend all sorts of time (at 1:30 in the morning) trying to figure out what you did to make that cool @$$ header image or you can just be the Pimp Daddy that you are and send it to me. I like option 2. Yes, I'll have that.
What say you Pimp?

Hehe, my graphic design skills
DO have some uses
Yeah, i kinda like it now i see it in context. It also brings your name out from the page.
I also like the little gradients at the bottom of the main content boxes, but i think they should be a lot larger and a lot lighter

I didn't want them to overtake the bottom line of content. I tried with lighter colors and it made the bottome edge look 'dusty'. It was wierd, but I swear in a lighter color, it actually looks dirty to me.
Of course, with such an outrageously kicking header imaage, I hardly notice the gradient on the bottom of the content boxes.
