We here at Assburger Research consider ourselves something of a … dare we say, … a portal for the Ass Burger community.

In either case, you're here now...


Projects/Rants:

Burger King's Lynndie Stormtrooper Burger King produces a disturbing Star Wars / Gulf War themed Kid's Meal toy.

Defcon 13 Schedule Data has been lovingly snarfed, distilled, and re-rendered. Available for Palm Desktop, iCal, Outlook, or raw XML.

RANT: I've noticed that Apple's iCal horribly blows its only real function in life. Namely, telling me what day it is.

iAudio U2 Drive Icon

I really dig my new MP3 Player, an iAudio U2 (1GB). I made an icon for it to make it identifiable among all of my drives.

Assburger Research presents Preparation-U, a soothing URL-shrinking solution. When the pain of deep URLs flares up, turn to Preparation-U. Assburger Research's Preparation U uses Common Gateway Interface technology to deliver a perly dose of columnar relief to your terminal. Now, that may sound like a bunch of medical mumbo-jumbo to you, but you can just remember that Preparation-U spells relief.

Assburger Research proudly presents Markov Markoff, the Markoffian NYT tech article generator.

Assburger Researchers have recently found that the Discovery Store website's "Toys and Games" section has a list of Boys' toys and a list of Girls' toys. As lifelong nerds, we at Assburger have suffered accute azuritis of the testicles as a direct result of the exclusion of females from the sciences. We've compiled a list of Boy and Girl toys, highlighting the differences between the boy list and the girl list. Almost none of these choices make sense. Vive la 'diff(1)'!

Assburger Research is hard at work producing a parody musical of Takedown. Working title is "The Lyin' King". The website for this project is www.cybertraque.com.

Awareness is, of course, the first step toward treatment. That's why we applaud TuesdayNight.org.uk's Assburger syndrome test. I only wish it were funnier and had more than one question. Still, it is a start.. Working together, we can conquer Assburger Syndrome. Unfortunately, there is still a stigma attached to those afflicted with Assburger's. Sadly, assburger is still unjustly listed in urbandictionary.com as an insult..

Assburger Research sends much Assburger love out to the Allied Haxor Elite, assburger-afflicted UK hackers who didn't hack a Houston dock computer. I've got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale, as well.
