Hope you like.

It’s quite nice, congrats !
The flash banner on the top right border is bright idea and well done aside from one thing : it keeps moving while idle and it’s a distraction which is not good IMHO. Might even become annoying (keep the hover effect but definitely drop the idle movement).
Other than that, I find navigation pretty straightforward which is good. I’d increase the height of the menu items, it’s the main menu it should be granted more space, plus it will be more "clickable" with a bigger area.
Another small things which would (IMHO) improve readability : increase the left padding on the main content area, I find it disturbingly too close to the left column...
Same goes for the bottom padding of the left column (too close to the footer).
The website is working fine on FF 2.0.0.12 / Mac and latest Safari

Sweet, very nice. I like the flash ’ear’ mark.

Very nice. I agree 100% with David on the idle movement. I think that you should have the movement run for no more than 15 seconds. I will say though that it does qualify as mystery-meat navigation--an actionable item with no indication of result from its appearance or name. This was and is still considered a bit of a usability no-no. Sure it looks cool but will anyone click?
One other observation. The contrast on the nav links with the blue background on my el cheapo acer notebook is low and makes the linktext hard to read.
Cheers,
