Actually, I wonder how flames _would_ look on your page...  He he.

Well, for starters, I think you might do better with a background color
other than the default grey.  My guess is that you are using a 4.0 browser
and didn't even notice it.  I forget that all the time when I'm making a
page I want to be white.

Right now all of the text goes across the whole screen.  I think that
perhaps if you use some tables (I'll admit I've got a fetish for tables) to
place blocks of text in strategic places on the pages, it might add a
little spice to the text.  It would also be an artsy typographic move.

I wonder what a background with just a little bit of a red gradient on the
left side would look like?  Something like this:
http://ratfactor.com/beta/red_gradient.htm for example.

Also, I noticed that the link to the RIT Pluralism Site on your services
page gave me a 404 error.  Right now the link is "www.rit.edu/~020awww".
If you change that to "http://www.rit.edu/~020awww/index.html" it should
fix the problem.

Other than that, I think it's refreshingly minimalistic.
