Sidenote: designing for Android has taught me a lot. If you follow the guidelines and design for the platform itself, instead of shoehorning iOS design into it, it can be really beautiful.
@Philip Readman: I'm going to do a big blog post after the app is finished detailing my experience, but until then check out these solid resources: 1, 2.
Looks great man! In Safari (desktop) I'm getting some weirdness in the nav bar - "Blog" and "Contact" are up way too high (same for Losttype site now that I think about it)
Looks good. If I'm being honest, I find reading Futura in large doses (such as on the blog) to be a harsh experience. Maybe pick an easier to read font for content areas and stick with Futura for headlines.

It's a small detail, but I love that little glowing bar under everyone.

Looks great. I am sad about that purple button though. Wish it was this: http://drbl.in/cXML

Looking good. The colour behind "sync, track, play" is different than the rest of the bar, though: http://d.pr/aV0l

@Collin Henderson: Damn. I can't replicate the problem, and since I'm no front-end coder I am stumped as to how to fix it.

Just my 2 cents.

The site is awesome. It's a little weird to have to click on the actual text in the navigation bar links, though!
