Kim, great that you like it. I actually started working on the Sunrise Racer right after I read your comment — thinking to deviate away from the magazine-like layout.

It is also good to provide various type of themes as people often have different needs which require different approach to information structure on the site.

It is also funny how I get bored (more like used to, actually) with previous designs and always find the new ones to be better. Therefore it would be really interesting to hear your first reaction to both — morning and sunrise racer themes, in terms of usability, clarity and organization of different elements.
