Learning and Reimagining the Tarot: First Card – The Hanged Man

By Giania • Jan 24th, 2010 • Category: Featured

Hot: This first card was challenging. Back on the 13th, when I first set down my intentions for this project, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do. I spent the next ten days reading things, assimilating concepts, arguing with myself, and cutting up magazines with the thought of [...]



TorsoPants: Going the Way of the Dodo

By Giania • Dec 3rd, 2008 • Category: DO WANT

Hot: (Yes, hunted to death by ignorant white men.) One of our affiliates, TorsoPants, is regrettably no longer going to be with us. On December 23rd (Hail Eris) they will close their </html> forever. They are the most openly absurdist tee shirt-ery this side of Fnord. It’s worth a look, especially since these coming days [...]



My First Visit to Change.gov and What I Wrote There

By Giania • Nov 7th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Hot: I decided to check out change.gov to see what our President-elect Mr. Obama was up to now that the first big hurdle has been lept. While I was there, skimming the “Additional Issues” section to see what wasn’t a big enough deal to merit it’s own page, I noticed a banner inviting me to [...]



T-mobile’s HTC G1 “Googlephone” Unboxing and First Impressions of Android

By Giania • Oct 21st, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: A whole two days early, my G1 arrived on my doorstep. And now, for your viewing pleasure, the unboxing, and for your reading enjoyment, my first impressions of this snazzy new phone and it’s Google-developed OS, Android. I will say right now that this won’t be the first or last of Android unboxing posts, [...]



Two Podcasts I <3

By fragmad • Oct 16th, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot: This is a quick entry with short descriptions of two podcasts I love, adore and recommend to most people. Mostly because I’ve cut down my listening to podcasts since I finished my work placement a year ago. But these are two of about 15 that survived the cut. Science is the most important thing [...]



My “Obsession?” the US Media’s Negligence

By AmHm • Oct 6th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Hot: I suppose it goes without saying that I am, overall disappointed and disgusted in the United States media. However, the blatant negligence on one particular issue has me outraged: on Friday, September 26th a radical, anti-Islamic group in perpetrated a terrorist attack against more than 30 children at the Islamic Society of Greater Dayton, [...]



Just when I thought we were taking steps forward…

By Guest Author • Sep 5th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Hot: Call this liberal horse hockey. Call this leftist ideology. Really, you can call it whatever you want, because I don’t give a flying shitcake. If what you get from this post goes anywhere near “anti-American” than you can feel confident that you have severely missed the point and there is a lonely noose in [...]



Holy Stale Popcorn Batman! MST3K Box Set Coming!

By Giania • Jul 23rd, 2008 • Category: Film

Hot: Perusing through my feeds this morning, as I am wont to do, I discovered a blurb in Wired’s The Underwire about the whole MST3K crew putting in an appearance at this year’s Comic Con! Not only that, but they plan to do a live Rifftrax session of Plan 9 From Outer Space as well. [...]

DeviantArt Encourages People to Liek Mudkips

By Giania • Apr 4th, 2008 • Category: Anime, Memes

Hot: April Fools’ Day, one of the most loathsome and wasteful days the calendar year has to offer, has come and gone. Most everyone seems to have survived, thankfully. DeviantArt, known for being a haven of artists producing works ranging from hackle-raising (no pun intended) furry fan art to really good photography, decided to celebrate [...]
