Nobody Expects The Spanish Inquisition! (In Lego)

By Giania • Nov 6th, 2009 • Category: Art

Hot: This is what happens when cultural icons collide, in many colorful, delightful ways. Monty Python’s Spanish Inquisition sketch has stood out from their amazingly memorable show (Monty Python’s Flying Circus! Go watch it on Netflix or something), and has blossomed into a lasting cultural reference, at least among the geeks. Here we see that [...]



Don’t Stop At Your Television – Throw Away Your Whole Tech Life

By Guest Author • Dec 6th, 2008 • Category: Philosophy

Hot: Here’s a little social experiment: Erase your MySpace page. Go ahead, you’re going to have to trust me on this one. And while you’re at it get rid of your Facebook page as well. Right now, I’ll wait. Also delete your LinkedIn profile and take yourself off of Match.com, Friendster, and Classmates.com. Peekyou, Flickr, [...]



Bullshittin’ With Sketch: Interview with Jeffery Nothing of Mushroomhead

By Sketch E Whiteface • Oct 15th, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot: Good evening children, I come to you yet again blathering however it’s not complete nonsense, this one actually has some thought behind it that doesn’t involve tearing out the asshole of a pop culture icon (since most of the opening acts nobody knows.) A couple weeks ago I contacted Sir Jeffery Nothing from the [...]



10 Books to Fall in Love With

By AmHm • Aug 13th, 2008 • Category: Literature

Hot: Let me start by saying that this grouping is little more than a list of some of my favorite books. It in no way purports to be comprehensive in any sense, nor are the books presented in any particular order. Many are distinctly Modern (I’m looking at you, Dave Eggers, Nicole Krauss and Lauren [...]



A Journey into Lovecraft Country – The Necronomicon

By fragmad • Aug 11th, 2008 • Category: Literature

Hot: That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die. Something I have learned over the past decade is that every investigative hero requires the correct and proper equipment. One thing they require is a sensible bag to store manuscripts and treasures in. Indiana Jones had his modified [...]



NH Media Makers Minutes 08-10-08

By Giania • Aug 10th, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: My awesome Lorem Ipsum shirt provided by TeeFury, makers of fine, rare designer tshirts. First off, it was great to see everybody again! I had missed the last two Media Makers events and kicked myself pretty hard both times. Thanks to my cat and the fact that I have a memory like a (rusted) [...]



Design-a-Vagina Contest Redux Closed

By Giania • Jun 30th, 2008 • Category: Recursion

Hot: Yes, once again our first-ever contest, the Design-a-Vagina Contest (Redux), has come to a close. The results are already in and those results may be expressed with the following image. If you can’t read that, and I don’t blame you if you can’t, it says “This Page Intentionally Left Blank” – which is to [...]



Words to Know: Shaking Off the Dust

By Giania • May 28th, 2008 • Category: WTK

Hot: Now here is a bit I haven’t done in quite some time! The Words To Know series had all but died. Tonight I feel like shaking the dust off, brushing away the cobwebs, and putting WTK to work once more. I’ve decided to go easy on the old girl, by featuring two terms, and [...]



Design-a-Vagina Contest to Re-run

By Giania • May 27th, 2008 • Category: Recursion

Hot: Friends of RKNet may recall our first attempt at a contest, the Design-a-Vagina contest. Friends of RKNet may also recall that the contest, minus Dr. Hypercube’s brilliant concept submission was a spectacular failure. Perhaps the contest was simply too ahead of its time, perhaps it was simply released from the nest before it was [...]



High-larious High-jinx: Airport Security Boo-Boo & Ancient Pot

By Giania • May 26th, 2008 • Category: Articles of Interest

Hot: It’s a two for one special! Come for the paraphrasing of a pretty funny BBC article, and stay for the hook up on ancient cannabis usage! I happened to pop my head into the ectochat and what to my wondering eyes did appear but a BBC article link! Upon following it I discovered that [...]
