Title: Change typeface and colors

Helvetica is amazing but not for web, not for reading on web.

( http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/05/ff_ycombinator/all/1 )

On left is **Lucida Grande** and on right is **Helvetica**.

Changing font stack to:

* **Lucida Grande** - available on all Macs and some versions of Windwos.
* **Lucida Sans** - available on most Windows
* **Tahoma** - available on all Windows
* **Ubuntu** - available on Ubuntu - popular distro of Linux
* **sans-serif** - for rest of the immortal world.

Also:

Making it a bit subtle with:

#FAFAFA and #222
