By Giania • Jan 8th, 2009 • Category: Guides

For all my talk about papercraft, this was the first real papercraft I’ve done outside of paper chains, origami cups, and the occasional botched snowflake. Read on for complete first-timer notes, and an assembly walkthrough.



Papercraft Tools and Resources

By Giania • Dec 9th, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: When you’re stuck inside because the weather has gone from bad to worse, or when you’re looking for a cheap project for gift giving or just good old fashioned time consumption that actually isn’t looking at pictures of cats with captions, papercraft is great. “Papercraft” is exactly what it sounds like: crafts made with [...]



Artsy Fartsy Fun: Learn to Screenprint

By Giania • Jun 26th, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: Lately I’ve gotten a really strong urge to learn how to screenprint, or silk screen as it’s also called. I’ve done some reading online, with MAKE/CRAFT magazine being particularly helpful. Still, as excited as I was I didn’t feel like I had quite enough information to really jump in and start buying screens and [...]



End-of-Year Gift Giving Ideas: DIY with MAKE Blog

By Giania • Dec 5th, 2007 • Category: Guides

Hot: I’ve been meaning to get to slapping my holiday list up here – not so much in the hopes of getting the gifts that are on my list – so I can do some slobberingly glorifying reviews of some of my favorite things. The first thing worth noting is this great article on the [...]

X Faces and The 5 Myspace User Types

By Giania • Jun 8th, 2007 • Category: Fnord, Guides, Internet Toys, Memes, Philosophy, Politics

Hot: I couldn’t tell you why but I take such a perverse amount of pleasure in the Xs that keep cropping up in place of where my actual “friends” used to be. It’s almost enough to let this account sit here until this site officially implodes in on itself. Unfortunately it’s become such a haven [...]



LOL-things! You Make Mah RSS Sing!

By Giania • May 31st, 2007 • Category: Internet Toys, Memes

Hot: In recent weeks I feel as though in the struggle to constantly produce content, I Can Has Cheezburger has slowly changed formats from its origins of “amusing image macro cats of various internet origin”. At this point it seems to cater less to savvy internet addicts with a general fondness for cats and seems [...]



IRC Explanation of The Author’s Weekend

By Giania • May 30th, 2007 • Category: Fnord

Hot: No names have been changed, but appropriate links have been provided to appropriately ID the other participants in the conversation. Where no appropriate link could be found, the name has been omitted. Some cross-talk has also been omitted, since it doesn’t make quite as much sense out of context as it would with much [...]



Morning Dreams of Explosions and Fetishes

By Giania • May 16th, 2007 • Category: Dream Log

Hot: I was standing outside in the back parking lot of my apartment building with some people, talking about I don’t even remember what. It was night time approaching early morning and rather cloudy. All of a sudden there was a noise in the air like dozens of planes. Flood lights popped on to periodically [...]



I “Own” This Number

By Giania • May 8th, 2007 • Category: Articles of Interest, Fnord, Memes, Philosophy

Hot: And I dare you to use it. 71 3F 92 64 35 8D A6 C6 B7 9F EF 28 E4 5E ED 91 Now what do I do with it? Can I sue people? Maybe I should make the blog’s color palette using the hex from that? The article itself is short and sweet, [...]
