Hot: So those kids over at White Chapel, had a a delightful little idea: Group Fiction. You know the old threads on message boards were one person would start a story and the next person would right the next four words and so on? EX from them boys at Fast Karate: GOKU1838471: Goku was walking [...]
Hot: So here it is, Thursday morning. I’d like to talk to you for a moment about food, and some crappy absinthe, but first, food. There may have already been some food (and general trip) related photos, so make sure you’re keeping tabs on my flickr, which I didn’t even know that ping.fm posted to [...]
Hot: Disclaimer-by-way-of-Prologue – I sat down and thought to myself: “Suppose I was to solicit some kind of bodily coupling through something like craigslist, in an area where these kind of services are clearly not at their peak usefulness?” This is the result of that thought process. (I may have also been letting my mind [...]
Hot: As drinks go, especially mixed drinks, I’m a big fan of traditional over fruity or “umbrella” drinks (you know, the ones that turn you into a zombie? ha ha). However, Mister Parker’s recent experiment with the recipe for a drink known as the Doctor Funk has proved to be an elixir of great potency. [...]
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, [...]
Hot: (Yes, hunted to death by ignorant white men.) One of our affiliates, TorsoPants, is regrettably no longer going to be with us. On December 23rd (Hail Eris) they will close their </html> forever. They are the most openly absurdist tee shirt-ery this side of Fnord. It’s worth a look, especially since these coming days [...]
Hot: Some time after he donned fishnets and a corset for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and before he scared the ever-loving crap out of me in IT (1990), Tim Curry found himself in a made-for-television film called The Worst Witch. With other notable names such as Diana Rigg, Fairuza Balk (a hilarious role [...]
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 [...]
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) [...]
Hot: It all started with a simple link to BoingBoing, which I don’t ordinarily read, in the ectomo chat (EFNet, #ectomo or through a java module on the site). The article was a simple video, with the headline “Man electrocutes pickle to demonstrate power of Christianity“. Within the video, a friendly older gentleman wishes to [...]
