I like the theme, but your blog did take a really long time to load. Even on a fast T1 connection it took about a minute to load the blog. That is way to long. You need to reduce the number of posts on the main page and take out a bunch of those widgets on the sidebar. The truth is that visitors to your blog don't really care about how many visitors you have had or what your live traffic feed says.

Rather than putting those widgets on your blog you should just use Google Analytics or some other plugin which allows you to see those same stats, but it doesn't display them on the main page.

If you do that it will make the pages load much faster.

The two columns on the right seemed a little cluttered to me.

That was about 50% better. Good job. Over time you'll come to rely less and less on widgets. I found that after about a year of blogging I reached a point where I removed all those JavaScript and flash widgets because I decided that they didn't add anything to my blog's content and attractiveness.

It just takes time before you reach that point.

I think your blog looks really cool and modern.

Nice color choice and very clean...I hate garbled blogs, I think some people just have to much to look at sometimes

Great job!
