Yellow on blue - not overly readable on the (public access PC) I am using at the moment. Particularly not in large (18pt?) Sans serif font.
I'm a bit constrained by the design scheme of making the thing look like a road sign, to match the logo. For some reason it comes across as a lot more readable under Linux than Windows—the font is anti-aliased in the former case. For this reason I'm going to change the session notes in the "on-campus" section to be black on white.
The red of the used links blends into the brightness of the blue which makes them hard to read.
Yes; I should change that.
The header part takes up a third of my screen, which is too much for a logo and a couple of links.
You must have a pretty small screen. Just flipping through windows open on my browser atm, it's comparable to that of the header of my ISP's webmail page, and on my flist (http://lethargic-man.livejournal.com/friends) page (though it's way larger than the BBC News header, or Java API documentation, or this page). <checks Amazon> That's pretty comparable too.
On the blog, 1/3 of the text area is taken up by links, squeezing the text into a very small area - in a rather large font, which means a lot of scrolling and little opportunity to grasp the contents.
I should probably reduce the size and font size of the links column—though once again, it's comparable to that on such blogs on my flist as balashon (http://balashon.blogspot.com/2006/06/admiral.html) and Tomorrow Elephant (http://tomorrowelephant.net/) .
You've got two different contact options in two different sections - snailmail/phone/e-mail on the contacts page, a webform only on the 'on campus' section.

As editorially requested.
Thanks for the feedback!
