I love the new masthead/search area, but I still think the main content area needs a little work -- everything has a "floating in space" look to it because the layout doesn't contain enough visual anchors to prevent it from looking unstructured.
All in all, I like where this is going.

Edward Tufte seems like an influence on the redesign. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Edward_Tufte https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Edward_Tufte
