I'm familiar with the name Boy Genius Report because Engadget gets some (apparently very good) phone scoops from them/him/whatever. Turns out they returned the favor by ripping my Engadget layout. Just because I'm in a crotchety mood, I'll call out their "designers," who are called Solo Stream. Now, I know that Boy Genius and Engadget have a great relationship, and I wouldn't want to jeopardize that. But really. I didn't make this happen, I'm just pointing it out. Everybody reads these sites in RSS, so maybe it doesn't even matter. But regardless of what I think of the Boy Genius Report, I can't say as I'll ever recommend Solo Stream to anyone looking for a blog design.

UPDATE: they did a writeup of their "design." Oh wow, what a challenge it must have been to convert the fixed width to a fluid one with a max-width. If anyone wants to know how difficult it was for them, I'll be fielding questions in the lobby.

UPDATE 2: Solostream response and my response to that. At least, after the comments clear cache here.
