Yeah, your design is definitely geared towards twenty-somethings, but you might be able to pull it off.
The one thing I want to remind you is to definitely focus A LOT on accessibility here.
If you view your website without your css, you should have your site's name first, then your navigation. However what shows up first the login text area, as well as the home/search/contact us links.
You might also want to just ditch the pretty flash graphic. You can easily replace that with an animated gif, and this may allow better usability for other viewers of your website.
And a HUGE must: Definitely check out cross browser compatibility with IE6 and maybe even one version under that. You're using suckerfish dropdown menus, so you want to make sure that it will work properly for them. I'd check it out, but I think IE is death and don't have an install of it available.
Stop using pixels to determine font height. IE6 (and I'm not sure about 7) will not allow pixel size fonts to be resized. Everything else but the font will resize. Use pt, em, or % to describe. You're using what, 12px font for the main content? 8pt is 11px, so 9pt (or was it 10) is 12px.
One last thing that I can think of off hand is getting rid of those RSS/ATOM buttons. They can be confusing to your viewers, and you definitely don't want to throw in more then one. Not only that but you're using tables to display. They don't fit in with the layout when they're displayed in a single column. If they were different buttons (eg: not all rss) and were displayed in a single row, that might fit in a bit better.
Would also help out with all of the white space you've got in your "pre footer."
