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.
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 [...]
Hot: Inside a vast, dim tent, shuffling undead awaited. Their dark bones smoked amethyst in the shaky torchlight, their shredded rags regal crimson. Confident and communicative undead of unknown ages. I warned them not to leave the confines of the tent but they muttered their excuses and went into the savage desert sunlight outside. They [...]
Hot: Boy o boy have I ever been busy! After claiming second prize at the Third Annual Ghetto Dinner Party, I paused to reflect deeply on my victory in a deeply meditative state that to the casual observer would look like a miserable hangover. Of course, those are for lesser, unenlightened creatures. I and my [...]
Hot: Yes, you read it right folks. Another Ghetto Dinner Party is upon us, they only come but once a year. When the last leaf of the great Maple tree falls and when it becomes too cold to play whiffle ball, the Great Ghetto Dinner comes forth like a mighty steed. When you get out [...]
Hot: Ok so admittedly it isn’t going to be quite that big, but it does give me an opportunity to use the first WTK vocabulary term: brobdingnagian.

Hot: This is a subject I have been thinking about for about six months now. If you’ve listened to me gibber, rant and rave about American politics in #ectomo (Efnet) then you’ll have heard this all before. But I think it’s a valid point to make and keep making. I’m not an American. I do [...]
Hot: A clear and flagrant disrespect for all things was extruded from the two young men chatting back and forth on the mostly empty train car and left the air palpably unclean. Crisp suits, slick and greasy hair, shifty bright eyes, and utter animal stupidity were readily apparent upon a quick glance. Typical upper-class white [...]
Hot: Tonight is the company christmas party. A handful of us are circumventing the overpriced drinks scandal by pre-gaming hardcore. I expect someone to fall victim to the Rocky Mountain Bearfucker. (I’m not convinced that’s the right recipie, will update when I’m sure.) Gotta dig my car out from out underneath about a foot and [...]
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 [...]
