I believe both those sites are part of a ‘viral marketing’ campaign being unleashed by the geniuses who do the ‘Buddy Lee’ Lee Dungarees denim ads. In the TV ads, Buddy Lee (the lovable doll who always wins in the end) competes against both Supergreg and Rubberburner (DJing, the former and go-cart racing, the latter). So I believe ‘Rubberburner’ refers to burning rubber in a go-cart.
I had totally forgotten about this, but when I first discovered the IHT, I sent them an email relaying my thoughts about it probably being the best site ever. I just got a response today from them, hand-typed by a human, telling me thank you, and to use it often. That’s rad. More than that, it’s k-rad.
Ill keep this simple. You *ABSOLUTELY MUST* check out Super Greg and Rubber Burner.
I just can’t figure out what kind of rubber is that jackass burning? Is that a really bad reference to safe sex (RubberBurning) or is he just smoking burnt rubber.
Sick of the dock in OSX? Check out Classic Menu by Sig Software to put both the Application Switcher and the Apple Menu back into OS X.
Here’s the situation: you have money to burn, and you don’t know what to get your CEO for Christmas. What’s the answer to this problem? I believe that would be this $24,000 Palm V cover from Ashford.com:
…remember those special dates with this one of a kind Ashford Palm case. This case is set with over 13 carats of diamonds in 300 grams of platinum.

Just a word of advice: if you’re looking for a printer, don’t go to Printers.com. I swear, some people REALLY need better things to do with their time.
My day as if it were coded in HTML was linked to on Signal vs Noise a few months ago, and I thought it might be worth revisiting. If you didn’t see it before, it’s kind of my way of merging the way I live with the way I make my living. Whether it says anything about technology interfering or helping people live, I don’t know, I guess that’s for you to decide. I was honest, in the way something hard-coded can only be, and everything that the code describes did in fact actually happen.
(I’m pretty excited. This is my first reference to IHT.)
This article might be worth your time, it might not be. It’s a fairly bland consumer-oriented response to the age-old ‘chicken or the egg’ that is the Mac vs Windows argument, and (let’s face it) we’ve all been a part of it, at one time or another. Although the writer does say something to the effect of both OSs crashing a lot, unless you can spend the time to tweak them into stability. This is misleading, I think. My parents’ iMac has never had any problems whatsoever, and their Apple menu is exactly how it was when the damn thing was shipped to CompUSA (not that the Apple menu is that important, it just tells you how very little they do in the ‘customization’ department). So yeah, Macs crash, but I think you need to do an awful lot more to them to get them there than you do with Windows. I had Windows 2000 lock up on the INSTALLATION. But that conversation is old and tired, isn’t it?
Okay, so the survey form was broken for a moment, but it has been fixed.
