Another year, another design

I have a nagging itch in my head to redesign this blog. You know, I design things for a living, but I can’t ever seem to come up with just the perfect look for my own stuff. So I think, since I will most probably have a nothing-to-do birthday, I will redesign the blog template this weekend. Tell me what you like about the current design, and what you hate about it. After all, I wanna be user-friendly.
