Bullshittin’ With Sketch – Henry Rollins

By Sketch E Whiteface • Jan 27th, 2010 • Category: Featured

Hot:

Hey folks, I’m not dead. Now that’s out of the way, on to the main event. I’m quite the fan of Henry Rollins, anything he’s in I’ll watch, any interview that’s out there I’ll look into – I really dig on him. I’ve seen his spoken word twice before, once in my native state of [...]



Words to Know: Anarchist’s Dictionary Edition #1

By Giania • Nov 5th, 2009 • Category: WTK

Hot:

First up on this WTK is the opposite of wealth. That term is “illth” and was coined by John Ruskin as a way of giving simple voice to the concept of possessing damage, discontent, or general ill health (physically, economically, spiritually, etc). In Ruskin’s case, and in several applications, this is largely applicable to the [...]

Love at First Listen: Beautiful Small Machines – Counting Back to 1

By Giania • Sep 17th, 2009 • Category: Audio

Hot:

Edited to remove imeem embed, since it only played 30 seconds.
This poppy, energetic, tightly executed ditty grabbed me in the first few seconds the way few songs have in a while (since the Fleet Foxes’ White Winter Hymnal, I reckon).
It’s a super catchy balance of techno precision and warm pop sensibilities, wrapped up into three [...]



Ashtanga Yoga: A Beginner’s Perspective

By AmHm • Jul 27th, 2009 • Category: Yoga

I began my Ashtanga practice for reasons much less noble than what I later learned many practitioners believe: that Ashtanga is “the path of internal purification for revealing the Universal Self.” Not me. I was motivated by a strong sense of vanity and a dislike of jogging



why your social media guru is an asshole & a liar OR how to succeed (or not) with your internet presence

By Giania • Jun 30th, 2009 • Category: Internet Tools

Hot:

Author’s Note: Some editing may apply to the article below. This article was originally 2 hours worth of unedited vitriol, inspired by the inordinate amount of time it takes me to remove spammers from my follower list on Twitter. (I block because I care about the health of the network.) I would like to state [...]



The Craigslist Posting That Will Almost Certainly Never Be

By Giania • Jun 23rd, 2009 • Category: Fnord

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 wander [...]



Amazing Concoction: Doctor Funkenstein

By Giania • Jun 10th, 2009 • Category: Food

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. It is [...]



Everything Sucks? Do Some Yoga!

By AmHm • Feb 24th, 2009 • Category: Guides

Hot:

I’ve been super stressed at work lately. When that happens, I’m especially prone to feeling the tension in my neck and back. It feels tight, almost clogged- as if the stress of my day-to-day has actually congealed in and around my spine. I’ll feel sluggish, get headaches and even feel sick to my stomach. Simply [...]



Weiser Books Link Goodness or Why You Should Be Subscribed to the Feed

By Giania • Dec 22nd, 2008 • Category: Literature

Hot:

Those who are already subscribed to the (feedburner) RSS feed may have noticed a particularly large link dump post, brimful of esoteric whatnots and occult herbal do-dads.
Those who aren’t, I’d like to direct your attention to the great big purple box in the upper right hand corner. Exclusive to the feed is my del.icio.us activity [...]
