I like the clean white look and your tagline is awesome!
I can see the whole page but I have a huuuuuge monitor so can't help you there.
One piece of advice is to put your RSS sign up at the top of the sidebar or at least above the ad block and the blog badge.
Also if I want to sign up to email updates, I can't find the link (lots of non bloggers prefer email subscriptions)
P.S. Your use of photos is also awesome!
