Love at First Listen: Beautiful Small Machines – Counting Back to 1

By Giania • Sep 17th, 2009 • Category: Audio

Hot: Edited to remove imeem embed, since it only played 30 seconds. This poppy, energetic, tightly executed ditty grabbed me in the first few seconds the way few songs have in a while (since the Fleet Foxes’ White Winter Hymnal, I reckon). It’s a super catchy balance of techno precision and warm pop sensibilities, wrapped [...]



why your social media guru is an asshole & a liar OR how to succeed (or not) with your internet presence

By Giania • Jun 30th, 2009 • Category: Internet Tools

Hot: Author’s Note: Some editing may apply to the article below. This article was originally 2 hours worth of unedited vitriol, inspired by the inordinate amount of time it takes me to remove spammers from my follower list on Twitter. (I block because I care about the health of the network.) I would like to [...]



BIRFDAY! G’s Wishlist 2009

By Giania • Apr 21st, 2009 • Category: DO WANT

Hot: Stuff stuff stuff! Subscription to Hi-Fructose It’s delicious just like the house of crepes I first read it in! Sewing machine? I’m a little torn over this one because I’m not sure if I’d honestly do more sewing if I had a sewing machine. The World Ends With You I’ve heard so many wonderful [...]



Mix and Mash Part 1: Introduction to a Colorific Exploration of Favorites

By Giania • Nov 14th, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: A while back I asked people on my Twitter friends list to DM me with the answer to a really simple question: What is your favorite color? I got some really interesting responses, and I thought to myself: “Hey self” “Yeah?” “What if we do a really neat post out of this?” “Well! That’s [...]



Firefox Pimps for the Everyman (like me!)

By AmHm • Sep 17th, 2008 • Category: Browsers

Hot: Admittedly, I’m an Internet n00b (does anyone even say that anymore?) Sure, I was chatting away with the best of ‘em on AOL in 1995, but it’s only within the last year (since I began work at an internet marketing company) that I’ve thought to embrace any browser other than Internet Explorer, any email [...]



A Review of Lonely Places

By fragmad • Aug 24th, 2008 • Category: Video Games

Hot: Cults, knives, women in chains, violent vegetation, Shub Niggurath, evil hillbillies and fnord! The game in this review has all of these. Lonely Places is an amateur text adventure game by author, Call of Cthulhu player and vet Nick Marsh. It’s a call back to the days of old when computer games came in [...]



An Event Apart Day One Conference Notes Part 1

By Giania • Jun 27th, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: Day one was fraught with challenges, up to and including having trouble finding the venue. It took a lot of wandering around, a phone call, and I think two concierge desk stops to finally figure out that the Copley Plaza Marriott was in fact through the Copley Plaza Westin and the attached mall. That [...]



URLtea Bites It Again

By Giania • Jun 9th, 2008 • Category: Internet Toys

Hot: Looks like I had spoken too soon about URLtea being back in it to win it. An astute commenter on my previous “URLTea Dead” post just tipped me off to the site being dead, again. Below is the text I got when visting the main site. Site Temporarily Unavailable We apologize for the inconvenience. [...]



Recent Digg Change Crashes Opera 9.27

By Giania • May 20th, 2008 • Category: Browsers

Hot: I have noticed that on two perfectly functional laptops (running Windows XP Pro) that when using Digg, Opera 9.27 crashes. Not just a hangup, or a page malfunction, but a full on Windows application error which forces me to end the process and restart the browser altogether. Having using Digg a fair amount in [...]

By Giania • May 19th, 2008 • Category: Internet Toys

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 [...]
