If Bob decides to change the interface and update it, I hope he'll keep simplicity in mind. (Think about it - Google understands this concept - their main page is mostly just their name in big letters and a single search box.)

I do find your example site a bit uncomfortable, although certainly better than some others I've seen. I could live with it. I find most of the Internet kind of hard to look at actually. I have a visual impairment that I think contributes to my dislike of visual clutter.
