By Giania • Mar 31st, 2008 • Category: Articles of Interest, Guides, Memes, Nature

Hot: Ok, not really. My good friend Kento over at Uglorable has composed an AMAZING compendium of obscure animals – one for each letter of the alphabet – entitled: Obscure Animal Alphabet: Axolotl to Zebu. For letter A is the Axolotl, which HAS to be the inspiration for that internet famous Pokémon, Mudkips. Exhibit A: [...]

The Death of the Luddities?

By Giania • Dec 13th, 2007 • Category: Memes

Hot: Jason Calcanis was recently quoted as saying “As Internet people we shoudn’t bother with people who don’t understand the Internet because they’ll be dead soon.” Oh Jason. How painfully untrue that is. If he knew half the young people I’ve met, and work with, he would be appalled at how undereducated young people are [...]

By Giania • Dec 11th, 2007 • Category: Fnord, Memes

Hot: A delightful variety of office-themed Magic cards designed for a Something Awful Forum thread. Inspired by this, I whipped up one of my own. Forgive any mistakes in terms of the card layout, it’s been quite some time since I played MTG. What, me frustrated?

By Giania • Oct 17th, 2007 • Category: Film

Hot: A good reason for being an absentee from your own blog is to get out into the world and discover new and exciting things to bring to your terrific readers. I’ve been watching a lot more television lately and friends, I think I’ve dug up a gem that has the potential to explode into [...]

Hot: Gentle Readers, I am torn. Every year I say I am going to do something so unbelievably wicked awesome for halloween. Every year I flake out. This year should be different. I have 2 ideas in mind. One involves a lot of money and would need to be done soon, one involves a lot [...]
