speaking purely as a user I really like that site - and I think the colour scheme is good and on my monitor very legible more than some with dark backgrounds...

as far as the lecture goes, well I personally am turned off by just pictures or flash movies above the fold- and you know why - because I am in a hurry most of the time and I cannot be bothered to scroll around or wait for a flash to load unless I know its going to be worth it - but then I don't use an ipad - art doesn't look as good on an ipad whichever way you look at it, as on a 23inch

frank - just make sure its always your foot.........
