I don't know what to say except... it looks... marketable.
Ask yourself if you can buy it from you. It's worth it.

This turned out really good. I like the quote, to stir the imagination and intrigue in contrast to the minimal visual input. I like the rollovers to give a taste of color. The one thing is that on my screen the lower left buttons are so pale in comparison to the others, that it seems a bit visually frustrating, like my eyes are going bad, which they are, so I don't need the reminder.

That was actually on purpose. They aren't intended to be anything more than little hints of what they represent. Kind of like an easter egg. I mean, one links to code validation, and the other links to the Creative Commons license. I didn't want them to be particularly noticeable. :)

your website came out better than i thought it would. I was skeptical on all of the grayed out icons. but the roll over on them is perfect.
Can't wait to see what the rest of the site brings in the future.

I like the spacing between the icons and the text on the rollover. I think that maybe you could do a rollover effect on the HTML5 and Creative Commons link (even if it is subtle). That way people can get that they are links.

I love the simple colors and icons. I think it looks really great and it definitely came a long way. Good job!

I just added a touch of functionality (and an actual reason to use a script other than because I just wanted to)... The quote that shows up on initial load is now 1 of 10 randomly selected quotes. No design changes though. :)

Great job. I like that you kept with your original idea of only using on symbols. The navigations are easy to under stand because of your scroll over facts.
