Learning and Reimagining the Tarot: First Card – The Hanged Man

By Giania • Jan 24th, 2010 • Category: Featured

Hot:

This first card was challenging. Back on the 13th, when I first set down my intentions for this project, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do. I spent the next ten days reading things, assimilating concepts, arguing with myself, and cutting up magazines with the thought of doing [...]



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 reference applied [...]



Portland Travelogue Part 2: Phantasmagorical Food Awesometown & Don’t drink the mouthwash

By Giania • Oct 1st, 2009 • Category: Potent Potables

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 until [...]



Stupid Things On The Internet: CD Cover Meme

By Giania • May 16th, 2009 • Category: Memes

Hot:

Rather than requesting anyone be truly creative, this meme asks you to gather three things, throw them through an image editor, and guffaw heartily at how oddly realistic they seem. Allow me to demonstrate:
Kind of looks like something you’d find in the bargin bin, right? Well it is, in fact, a thrown together combination of [...]



Happy New Year from RKNet

I want to thank everyone for reading, for commenting, for subscribing to the feed, and for generally being awesome. I hope this coming arbitrary Gregorian time period is as fun, as enlightening, as painless, and as unpredictable as possible. [read the rest]



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, and [...]



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) steel trap, [...]

Wallpaper: The Book of the Law

By Giania • May 18th, 2008 • Category: Art

Hot:

While the Flickr link and image will undoubtedly automatically post here, I wanted to make sure that the full, original 1400 x 900 version of the image was also readily available. Enjoy!

Chapter 1, passage 3: Every man and every woman is a star.



Opera and Web 2.0

By Giania • Apr 23rd, 2008 • Category: Browsers

Hot:

As an Opera desktop edition user, I am part of a browsing minority.
I started using Opera years ago, back when they still had banner ads to support their desktop offering. Some friends recommended it to me as a browsing alternative, if I recall correctly. I was getting sick of IE, and all the Netscape [...]
