Good thought on the black line. I'll have a play with that.
Regarding the screenshots, yeah they are too sharp. Unfortunately it was a decision between blurry or too sharp, and I wasn't able to get a nice balance yet. The fonts are the main culprit, and they were all redone at tiny sizes. In my mind, it fit better than the blurred version. I'll have a look into how I can improve that.

My new temporary personal site. Missing lots (larger images, preloading animation, etc) but I'll be making key additions and bug fixes.
Use a webkit browser for the complete experience :)

Wow, thats pretty novel. Very nice use of 3D transforms!
How did you scale down the screenshots? The scaling method looks almost too sharp.
Thought about removing/fading out the black outline on non-ipad imgs? seems to get in the way of the beauty of the blue glow.
