By Giania • May 11th, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot: Well, I’m just back from the first ever NH Media Makers get together. What a terrific idea, and what a great turn out. I honestly didn’t know what to expect, both in people or content, despite the post at the actual NH Media Makers site detailing who would be there and what to expect! [...]



Front Page Overhaul!

By Giania • Apr 20th, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot: The front page of the site finally got an overhaul! As you can see, it is much less of a CSS nightmare than what the Wayback Machine will prove the previous incarnations were. It’s also got a custom fancy wallpaper-y background, too. As more content emerges that is best suited to its very own [...]

By Giania • Apr 17th, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot: As you may have noticed, with the advent of automatic updates via Twitter and del.icio.us, yours truly has gotten rather lazy about posting things that you, gentle reader, would find interesting, delightful, or thought-provoking. This upsets me possibly more than it upsets you, because after all no one likes to feel like they’re shirking [...]



RKNet asks: What do you believe?

By Giania • Apr 13th, 2008 • Category: Film

Hot: On the recommendation of a friend, I watched this earlier and was left with many thoughts. Many questions. Anything that raises questions is of interest. The following video is intended for audiences who are willing to ask questions. Questions about religion. Questions about authority. Questions about government. Questions about the world all live in.

Complete Beginner’s Guide to Goetia

By Giania • Apr 9th, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot: More on this later, honest. There’s so much in this set of clips to ruminate over. I am not in 100% agreement with Runyon on these matters. I am also rather obstinate when I choose to be.



Unspeakable Office Drinks

By meatbagwtf • Mar 31st, 2008 • Category: Memes, Potent Potables, Science!

Hot: One look at our vending machines will tell you that office-dwelling drones like Your Humble Narrator are always seeking out exotic drinkable liquids. Especially if said liquids are reputed to be imbued with energizing or stupefying properties. Maybe it’s the condition of our imprisonment, which in this office typically involves non-ergonomic, castoff cubicles, brutally [...]

Hot: What more is there to say? Ok, well, for anyone who isn’t in the know: SMITH Magazine, Larry Smith, and Rachel Fershleiser set about collecting six word memoirs from all types of people. Some were famous, some were just everyday people who entered a contest to have their miniaturized life story printed. The outcome [...]



I’m Famous! Blog Author Gets Published in Meatspace

By Giania • Feb 8th, 2008 • Category: Art, Articles of Interest

Hot: Gentle readers: Well, it’s happened. I done hit the big time. It’s only a matter of time before I’ve abandoned you to go sip expensive bottled waters on yachts and anal-retentively police my own wiki entry. What, might you ask, has caused this sudden surge in adulation for and popularity of yours truly? Well [...]

By Giania • Jun 18th, 2007 • Category: Browsers, Internet Toys, Literature, Memes, media

Hot: http://www.shelfari.com/giania I was tipped off by someone on my LJ friends list yesterday that there was indeed a social site based around books! Thank goodness. I’d been saying for ages I wish I had some place to collect a list of everything I’d read. At one point I tried to keep a .txt file [...]
