  I just happen to find your site through some back link info. Of which I listen to the audio. Two things, you mention IE3 instead of IE8 at the 30 minute mark, second the Acid 3 test is passable but it depends on how deeply configured your computer is. If you read up on my article about this, http://saint-michael.trap17.com/blog/2009/04/internet-explorer-8-acid-test-3-passable/, its passable even though it is a low score of 20.
