OK, this will be a quick one...
1) First off, I'm not sure why you have so much white space up at the top. Some space is good, but the more you have up there the further down the page the content is pushed, and the less the user can see without scrolling (granted, there is no scrolling now, but I can't imagine that all your pages are going to be that short).
2) The "ending chaos" graphic doesn't line up with the black and gray of the "bar" div area. I'm guessing this is because you're setting the location of the logo relatively (using percentages) rather than absolutely (using pixels). The smaller the browser window the more the logo moves down, and the larger the gap becomes.
3) You don't need a div for the menu--just apply the styles straight to the menu itself.
4) You also don't need to type "div.whatever" in your CSS; a simple ".whatever" will do.
5) Please do [b]not use double breaks in the middle of a paragraph. Just start a new paragraph--that's what they are for.
6) Why are you using <small>? According to your CSS, it has the exact same styles as <p>... also, tags like <i> and <b> (I prefer to use <em> and <strong> for semantic reasons, but that's just me) should be placed as close to the text as possible. Your small text right now is not italicized, and I think that may be the reason.
Other than that, it's not a bad look. I like the black and blue scheme you have going. Fix the logo and you'll be set (most of the other stuff is "under the hood"). Hope I wasn't too harsh, but I was in a bit of a hurry... lame excuse, I know.
