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 [...]



Better Late Than Never: Halloween Treat

By Giania • Nov 4th, 2008 • Category: Film

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 [...]

By fragmad • Sep 29th, 2008 • Category: Literature

Hot: You are hiding behind a stone wall being shot at by heavily armed cultist. You have had two weeks of training to deal with situations like this. But you’re only just starting to remember this.

A Review of Lonely Places

By fragmad • Aug 24th, 2008 • Category: Video Games

Hot: Cults, knives, women in chains, violent vegetation, Shub Niggurath, evil hillbillies and fnord! The game in this review has all of these. Lonely Places is an amateur text adventure game by author, Call of Cthulhu player and vet Nick Marsh. It’s a call back to the days of old when computer games came in [...]



10 Books to Fall in Love With

By AmHm • Aug 13th, 2008 • Category: Literature

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 [...]



A Journey into Lovecraft Country – The Necronomicon

By fragmad • Aug 11th, 2008 • Category: Literature

Hot: That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die. Something I have learned over the past decade is that every investigative hero requires the correct and proper equipment. One thing they require is a sensible bag to store manuscripts and treasures in. Indiana Jones had his modified [...]



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) [...]



Dream Log: Sidewalk Alchemy and Killer Klowns

By Giania • Jul 19th, 2008 • Category: Dream Log

Hot: So I remember just enough of my dreams to merit writing them down. The reason I remember is because I was awakened by a combination of the cat scratching loudly at the door for breakfast, and the very last bit of the dream (which I’ll get to momentarily). Going in list form because I [...]



A Sailor and His Foot

By Giania • Jun 20th, 2008 • Category: Film

Hot: Ordinarily not something one would expect to be a terribly interesting subject. Yet thanks to the overwhelming madness that powers Ectomo, and the Savannah College of Art and Design, I have been given the opportunity to share this story. In this film, titled The Sailor’s Curse Avoids Drowning, a sailor who has narrowly escaped [...]



I have dreamed and learned

By Giania • Apr 19th, 2008 • Category: Dream Log

Hot: Last night and well into today has been a flight of extreme fantasy, not all of which was enjoyable, but all of which has left me thinking. Unfortunately I’ve waited too long to write this all down, so some details will inevitably be lost in the rapid cognition thought-shuffling of daily life. At some [...]
