The Craigslist Posting That Will Almost Certainly Never Be

By Giania • Jun 23rd, 2009 • Category: Fnord

Hot: Disclaimer-by-way-of-Prologue – I sat down and thought to myself: “Suppose I was to solicit some kind of bodily coupling through something like craigslist, in an area where these kind of services are clearly not at their peak usefulness?” This is the result of that thought process. (I may have also been letting my mind [...]



A New Breed of MMO Is Born

By The Evil Genius • Dec 11th, 2008 • Category: Video Games

Hot: Well, perhaps not yet “born” yet, per se, but it’s definitely somewhere in its second trimester and we have gotten quite a clear ultrasound at this point of NETdevil’s high concept sci-fi space shooter MMOG, Jumpgate: Evolution. While the game is currently in a solid alpha-build stage, what we’ve been allowed to see thus [...]

Hot: Good evening, it’s your friendly neighborhood cyst Sketch here bringing you an article for your Internet Arts & Leisure feed.

Artsy Fartsy Fun: Learn to Screenprint

By Giania • Jun 26th, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: Lately I’ve gotten a really strong urge to learn how to screenprint, or silk screen as it’s also called. I’ve done some reading online, with MAKE/CRAFT magazine being particularly helpful. Still, as excited as I was I didn’t feel like I had quite enough information to really jump in and start buying screens and [...]



Opera and Web 2.0

By Giania • Apr 23rd, 2008 • Category: Browsers

Hot: As an Opera desktop edition user, I am part of a browsing minority. I started using Opera years ago, back when they still had banner ads to support their desktop offering. Some friends recommended it to me as a browsing alternative, if I recall correctly. I was getting sick of IE, and all the [...]



A Lent for the Rest of Us

By Giania • Mar 19th, 2008 • Category: Articles of Interest, Philosophy

Hot: In the very broad strokes that I have always heard, the Christian calendar period referred to as Lent is about giving up things that are bad for you, to spiritually improve yourself by ditching nasty habits, etc. A laudable goal, but for those of us who aren’t Christian, it seems redundant in the light [...]



Keep Digging: Temple of Damanhur

By Giania • Mar 13th, 2008 • Category: Articles of Interest

Hot: The Damanhurians are a lot of things. A small group of semi-private spiritualists, architects, philosophers, ecologists, and revolutionaries, for starters. In 1978 they began building a complex series of temples into a mountain in Italy. They finished this construction in the 90′s. They were constructed with the use of whatever labor they could find, [...]



Girls Can Pee Standing Up!

By Giania • Feb 12th, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot: A while back I wrote an article discussing the less-than-finer points of an invention known as the “shenis”. The inventor happened by here just yesterday and decided to let me know that she wasn’t terribly enthused by my rather negative first impression. Well, once the subject of “what’s a girl to do when there’s [...]



More Reasons to Hate Your Job: Office Snapshots

By Giania • Jan 3rd, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot: Woe and sadness unto you, cubicle drone. An entire blog dedicated to snapshots of tons of different companies. Mainly young, hip, internet-based companies on top of it. Take a good look around you. Do a quick inventory of your surroundings. Do they include any or all of the following: A full wall, hand-painted mural [...]



I'm such a rebel! (or not)

By Giania • Mar 28th, 2007 • Category: Fnord

Hot: I technically speaking didn't wear a bra today! *GASP* Given my overall build, it's typically fairly impractical for me to go without a bra and also without attracting unnecessary attention or getting annoyed. However, the last few days have left me with aches and pains in my back and ribs, and I believe it [...]
