Hot: I get so immensely frustrated by the bullshit rodeos that spring up around certain concepts sometimes. However, to really take the time to dissect this nonsense in a meaningful fashion would end one of two ways: Unending flaming from kool-aid drunken supporters of the individual whose ideas I am opposed to. No actual rebuttal [...]
Hot: I recently read an article on GOOD.is entitled “The Art of the Status Update.” The article was interesting and seemed relevant, in light of a recent post I’d written about the Top Ten Facebook Offenders. Perhaps I’d been too hard on Facebookers in condemning the “self-indulgence” that users of any social-media outlet are often [...]
So. You’ve got a Facebook account. Welcome to the 21st century. Many of us have been here for some time- enjoying relative seclusion from teenage girls and 40 year old men, blinking emoticons and blaring emo-music. But, you had to come sometime, so, welcome.
Hot: Edit! Commenter Jess rightly pointed out the fact that I neglected (which was rude of me and I apologize) to actually link to the place where this neat data visualization can be found! It’s from qed-portal.com. I don’t know about you but I love the fact that my friends listen to notably different stuff. [...]
Hot: Very cool project, very fun to see what’s come up most often on RKNet recently.

It’s really fun to see someone take a silly experiment and launch it to the next level, a silly experiment with wide recognition. Of course, with Stephen Colbert’s huge popularity [...]
Hot: I was poking around for more information on Liber AL Vel Legis earlier and found SourceryForge.org (I c wut they did thar). A little further sniffing about turned up this really neat Tarot spread generator. Though still under construction, it offers four types of readings: single card, 3 card relating to influence, 3 card [...]
Hot: URLTea used to be my favorite URL shortening service. Emphasis on used to be. For (and I’m guessing here) I’d say the better part of a month, every time I have attempted to make a shortened URL or visit the site, it’s been coming up error, 404, you’re looking for what again? Does anyone [...]
Hot: Created by OnePlusYou I’d be interested to see how this test really works. I should check my log files for some kind of crawler. The results came back surprisingly fast, given the amount of pages here (especially when you take into account the tags and categories). I’m inclined to say that this percentage is [...]
