Welcome Alexandria Refugees

By Giania • Jun 23rd, 2010 • Category: Fnord

Hot: Revisions, updates, and addendum below I am sure that you all, like myself, have been disappointed by the recent turn of events surrounding WordPress.com’s arbitrary rule enforcement process. I would like to present to you all an opportunity to “live under the articles” (p. 186), as it were. I should like to extend to [...]



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 [...]



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 [...]



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 [...]



A New Breed of MMO Is Born

By The Evil Genius • Dec 11th, 2008 • Category: Video Games

Hot: Well, perhaps not yet “born” yet, per se, but it’s definitely somewhere in its second trimester and we have gotten quite a clear ultrasound at this point of NETdevil’s high concept sci-fi space shooter MMOG, Jumpgate: Evolution. While the game is currently in a solid alpha-build stage, what we’ve been allowed to see thus [...]



Amy Goes Betty-Homemaker: Holiday Edition

By AmHm • Dec 2nd, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: Well, it’s that time of year again. Holiday Fun Time! And, if you’re anything like me, you usually wait until the weekend before your holiday of choice to get your shopping done… er, started. You brave the mall with a bunch of crazed maniacs and a hangover, and inevitably, you never quite find what [...]



My First Visit to Change.gov and What I Wrote There

By Giania • Nov 7th, 2008 • Category: Politics

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 [...]



Stupid Things on the Internet: I Accidentally a Coca Cola Bottle

By Giania • Nov 6th, 2008 • Category: Memes

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! The expressions! And oh how the mind delighted over the many awkward possibilities of the missing verb. This pattern, “I [...]



Hopping on the Bandwagon of Democractic Procedure

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

Hot: This morning I went out and cast my vote for president, as well as some state and local officials. The lines weren’t long, the weather wasn’t bad, and I still had time for coffee. It didn’t hurt, and no one was particularly grouchy. Voting isn’t so bad. If you haven’t voted, you should. If [...]



RKNet’s Weird Tales: Sleeper.

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. You know you should feel angry that people are shooting at you. But you consider that they would shoot [...]
