Nice site. Going to pass it on to a few friends in the industry to see if they have any comments I might pass along. SEO theory suggests dropping ads until you have lots of traffic b/c with AdSense you provide random relevant exit points and they're not hooked on you yet. It's also distracting, takes away from the experience, etc. In your case I think it's subtle enough not to detract.
