Really love the trees and whatnot, especially the way they separate the footer. I'm not sure I totally understand the angle of the backpack in the logo, but it all looks fantastic nevertheless.
Wow, I love the theme!
Some comments: Im a little confused about the numbers on the wooden arrows...not sure what they are representing. Also, the positioning on the "begin the climb" btn under Top Discussions looks borked (using FF 3.6.10)
This is fantastic Dan. Great work. I continue to be inspired by your signature style. There's very few out there that can release anything with their style onto it and it's instant love for me.
Nice; sounds similar to the 37signals Design Not Found project from way back, but with much more in-depth writing and discussion. Wonderful project! Can't wait too see how it develops.

Yesterday, Web Standards Sherpa launched. A WaSP outreach project initiated by Aaron Gustafson and Easy! Designs and sponsored by Microsoft, Mozilla, Opera, W3C and several other companies.
I had the pleasure of handling the initial design and art direction for the site and it's exciting to see it alive and kicking.
Check out the first pool of articles from Jared Spool, Aaron Gustafson and Erin Kissane.

The sausage goat (Shirley) scares me. Like the idea of feeding it sites though.
