…and so is love.
We had precisely zero submissions. I’m speechless, gentle readers, but ultimately not terribly surprised. We are a sparse, busy, and easily distracted lot here at RKNet, and we can only assume that our readership shares at least some of these qualities. Most notably the sparseness, what with the sheer lack of [...]

After looking at the actual Chaos Game, it almost seems silly of me to insist this is chaotic. Regardless of any technical chaotic qualifications, it is mesmerizing. The subtlest twitches of the mouse send swirling sheres of various sizes into mad dashes to all corners of the screen, tracing intricate kaliedoscopic [...]

Tay Zonday’s managed to snag an endorsement deal. I’m sure you’ve all heard about it already. From the heartlands of Ectomo to Wired’s hipster hovel blog The Underwire and beyond, it’s being talked about non-stop.
Chocolate Rain, that agitatingly infectious little ditty from a little while back, caught the attention of the Dr. Pepper marketing [...]

Behold the philosophical wonders that unfold when you find everything to do but update!
G: you know what’s a funny word? “crunk”
kittymcgee: agreed
why was it invented?
G: as a descriptive term for being various kinds of loaded, instead of just drunk, is my assumption
kittymcgee: true….but what does the c stand for?
cocaine drunk?
kittymcgee: aha!
G: I always assumed it [...]

When I was at the Gathering of the Vibes earlier this year, there was a peace demonstration on Sunday (the last day). The theme was unity. Flags of all the world were given out, and each country’s name was spoken aloud. Incidentally, I think they skipped a few names - notably Israel by way of [...]

To this very day, I maintain that this is one of the most awesome songs I have ever heard. I like it well past its usefulness as a learning aid. As learning aids go, this has to be one of the catchiest things anyone ever came up with. Besides, who doesn’t freaking LOVE that pinball [...]

Clocking in at 11 minutes, this alternate take of the title track from the rerelease of Televison’s 1977 album Marquee Moon is a sweeping soundscape of what translates to near pure bliss for this listener.
“Eleven minutes?!” one may be inclined to exclaim, “Why that’s much longer than 3! and far longer than the limited [...]
