Responsive Break Points

I've been playing around with bootstrap more, and I like almost everything about it.

I'm not a fan of where they choose break points for responsive design. No doubt they've put in more effort than me, but with their defaults a half-sized browser window on a 1280 x 1024 monitor brings up the shortened "hotdog" style menu.

I am old fashion, I still have a 4:3 monitor (in my defense it is my secondary monitor). For geekwagon.net's more responsive redesign I made up my own break points. They are not perfect, but here is the thought behind them.
