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 you don’t [...]

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 [...]



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 hard.
As [...]



Junk mail is often so facinating.

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. With the [...]



Hmmph, not even.

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 but about existence and [...]



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 at a [...]



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 FireFox for a couple of [...]



Disinformation, Chaos Magic, Psychotropics, and The Other Side

By Giania • Jan 12th, 2007 • Category: Fnord, History, Literature, Philosophy

Hot:

Edit: A much better take on this situation, from one far more familiar can be found over yonder. At this point I suppose you could consider my post to be more of a primer for the almost equally undereducated.
So, Robert Anton Wilson died yesterday. It was also Albert Hofmann’s birthday. For those who might not [...]
