It looks great and I love the navigation, but I find it a little off that the "about" section and "home" section of the navigation use the same color. It can be a little slow sometimes but I didn't notice anything too out of the ordinary as far as load time.
I might tighten the top up a little bit though to bring the logo a little closer to the content and navigation (not too much though, the white space is good, there's just already so much of it on the right side of the screen). I agree about eliminating the translucent stroke on the first box.

thanks! I will mostly likely tighten the logo area up a bit.
