Hmm pretty nice.

I'd still darken those images up a little bit. To me they're barely visable at all, the reminder is a <!>, the upcoming isn't clear at all, and suggested reading is a globe?

Again, maybe it's my monitor, but I think they'd look better a smidge darker.

A minor quip: the entire page isn't the full height of my browser in 1024x768, but the Copyright image is designed to go on the bottom, and the side shadows extend the entire height of the page to my status bar. Maybe you want a big div somewhere height=100% or something to push that bar down to the bottom? Of course, if you eventually add more stuff to those bar it'll push it down anyway.
