Pretty?

As you can see, I'm trying out a new design. I've was getting antsy with my old design, so thank you Zoot (what? You thought I designed it myself? Cha, right). I can't decide if I like it or not though. What do YOU think? Thoughts? Suggestions?

Also, HTML and CSS smarties, help me figure out how to get rid of that extra banner tile right next to my "About Me" section, would ya?
