One usability detail you might consider:

I like how you follow HN's lead and make read content headlines a lighter gray. But there's no corresponding effect for the screenshot slides. That definitely reduces the usefulness of the read state.

Isn't CSS3 supposed to have an opacity setting (little use considering not every browser supports it now, but, might be something to look forward to?)

EDIT: Correction, not "have", rather "support"

Yup. You can set opacity for elements in all modern browsers. IE6, too.

On some sites, I've used it as a subtle hover state for image links, so they "pop" a little. (Set the default opacity to 92% and have it go to 100% on hover.)

I thought I'd put that in there, but yep, good call. It's on the list.
