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: 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: I decided to check out change.gov to see what our President-elect Mr. Obama was up to now that the first big hurdle has been lept. While I was there, skimming the “Additional Issues” section to see what wasn’t a big enough deal to merit it’s own page, I noticed a banner inviting me to [...]
Hot: This is how I first encountered this speech pattern meme-thing in the wilds of soup. It made no sense and every time I saw it, I giggled like a small, feeble-minded child. The absurdity!

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: Do you have RSS feeds for sites that you like, but they aren’t in your language? Don’t you wish you could get those feeds translated and delivered in the language you’re most comfortable reading? Of course you do! Well, the internet is full of surprises and helpful little whatnots, and one of those items [...]
Hot: (NSFW for some naughty language!) So, my brother recently released a short film into the wilds of the YouTube. It’s a brief exploration of one character’s struggle with insomnia and the memories that occupy his mind while he desperately seeks sleep. The audio and editing is a bit choppy, but as described in the [...]
Hot: Now here is a bit I haven’t done in quite some time! The Words To Know series had all but died. Tonight I feel like shaking the dust off, brushing away the cobwebs, and putting WTK to work once more. I’ve decided to go easy on the old girl, by featuring two terms, and [...]
