Concept and presentation look great.
I know you probably weren't looking for technical feedback, but... your site was just a tad slow to load for me, so I suspect a bit of the "hacker news" effect on your server.
It looks like you've already done a great job optimizing towards YSlow metrics, but you can do a few other things to optimize speed and server performance further:
1) far future expire headers on static assets like pngs
2) use an asset packager that will combine your js and css into one file each, so you can further minimize the http request being made. Something like django-assets (for django) or build it into your capistrano deploy script (Rails).
3) image sprites where applicable. This one is a pain in the ass. In a recent presentation i saw online, DHHs was brainstorming about rolling something into Rails 3.1 to handle image sprite creation automatically... a really cool idea.
Anyways, great job and keep hacking....
