Welcome Alexandria Refugees

By Giania • Jun 23rd, 2010 • Category: Fnord

Hot: Revisions, updates, and addendum below I am sure that you all, like myself, have been disappointed by the recent turn of events surrounding WordPress.com’s arbitrary rule enforcement process. I would like to present to you all an opportunity to “live under the articles” (p. 186), as it were. I should like to extend to [...]



Screw You Comcast

By Giania • Dec 10th, 2007 • Category: Fnord

Hot: Did it ever occur to you that I might work from home? I’m cancelling the minute I find a viable alternative. In the meantime? I’ll be checking this out.



Guilt-Free BitTorrent

By Giania • May 16th, 2007 • Category: Audio, media

Hot: Unlike Olestra, this won’t result in peculiar anal side-effects, since you won’t end up doing any jail time for this torrenting. Bt.Etree.org is a torrent site that specializes in “trade friendly artist” live recording swaps. Naturally it’s heavily suffused with Grateful Dead and Phish. So much so that they added a filter link so [...]

Hot: Remember the illegal number? Well, I converted the hexadecimal number into a set of five different colors (using hex-color codes) and made this lovely GIF to illustrate. Don’t use these colors together. If you do, you’re breaking the law. Or, at least, you’re breaking it enough to get sued for it. Thanks T3knomanser! I’d [...]



Todd Goldman – not the sharpest knife in the drawer

By Giania • Apr 26th, 2007 • Category: Fnord

Hot: In case you all weren't aware: http://www.miketyndall.com/todd_goldman/ Worth taking a look at. This guy is making a mint off of ideas that are often clearly more than “borrowed from” or “inspired by”. It would appear that he's making every effort to be defensive and rude about it. I hope this clown gets trolled so [...]



Junk mail is often so facinating.

By Giania • Apr 18th, 2007 • Category: Fnord

Hot: My comments in [] and italics. ~G Subject: I will die bravely, like a smug bridegroom. [how romantic is that?!] It is open to any interested individual. [death? love? What is?] Das Ende der Parteien 1933. F1, F2, F3, -. F-Prot for Windows 8. [Word association game? I'm down] To build a single sample, [...]



Words to Know: Not dead yet!

By Giania • Mar 31st, 2007 • Category: Art, Articles of Interest, Philosophy, WTK

Hot: This Words To Know is being brought to you today by “why the hell not?” and also by “not formatted anything like the other ones”. Now with 99% less Wikipedia and 100% more link mouseover info. This makes it sort of revolutionary among its brethren, and also somewhat of a jerk. First thing's first. [...]



Hmmph, not even.

By Giania • Mar 27th, 2007 • Category: Fnord

Hot: What does your drawing say about YOU? The results of your analysis say: You tend to pursue many different activities simultaneously. When misfortune does happen, it doesn't actually dishearten you all that much. You have a peaceful mind, viewing the world with calm and serenity. To you, life is not about struggle and strife [...]



Gamer Report: Brief PS3 Reviews & Flash Game Promo!

By Giania • Feb 27th, 2007 • Category: Fnord

Hot: I didn’t read yesterday’s Penny Arcade until this morning, and I was hard pressed to hold back an actual outloud chuckle. (Not that they haven’t made me laugh right out loud before, mind you.) The companion article from Tycho is also very enjoyable, as usual. The reason it struck me is I was over [...]



I left my notes for WTK at home…

By Giania • Feb 23rd, 2007 • Category: Art, Browsers, WTK

Hot: So here are a couple of interesting links: Opera Equivalents to Firefox Extensions Part 1 And Opera Equivalents to Firefox Extensions Part 2 Both articles are pretty interesting if you are a Firefox user or an Opera user. I have come to the conclusion that as IE alternative browsers go I prefer Opera over [...]
