Great work, seriously beautiful. How did you achieve the glow on the buttons? for instance on the JUNE 2006, that looks bright on top and shadowed on the bottom. What software do you use? (I know these are a lot of questions for anyone's patience but I'm just trying to learn. And what better place to learn that where people shine like you do on this marvelous piece of work)

All my designs are made in Photoshop CS2.
The glossy effect can be achieved in a number of different ways. The easiest way uses a light gray Color Overlay and a low-opacity, white Inner Shadow (size 0, 90 degree angle, distance equal to roughly half the height of whatever object you're working with). The more complex way (as seen in Retrospect) uses the same basic method, but instead of a Color Overlay, it uses a 3-point Gradient Overlay - The first (0%) is white, the second (50%) is a mid-light shade of gray, and the third (100%) is white again. You can adjust the opacity of the Inner Shadow and darkness of the second point to achieve your desired gloss strength. I would also suggest that you use a 1px gray stroke (the shade of which can vary) when using the latter technique.
Another good example of the gradient method is Apple.com, which uses the effect for its primary and secondary navigation.
Hope that helped, and thanks for the kind words

ok, finally i've found a page one could put in designer's manual!
so minimal, yet so hot, so user (and bandwidth obliously) friendly!
i try to find any flaw here, but fail! 'flawless' is what i'd call this design! congratulations.

Great! the colours work, and are easy on the eyes, the navagation looks simple to use, the only thing you might want to change is the body text colour, it looks a bit hard to read, but i'd have to see it in my webbrowser to comment on that aspect appropriatly.
The Verdict:
