The Blood Horse Cometh

By Giania • Jun 17th, 2010 • Category: Fiction

Hot: Deep within the earth, in bunkers whose walls drip with strange luminescent ichor, lies the headquarters of a sinister organization. Their sworn duty is drain the precious, vital blood from every living thing, no matter how long it takes or what sickening tactics must be employed. Their name: The Red Cross. They are ancient [...]



I’m So (Not) Lazy

By Giania • Apr 19th, 2010 • Category: Philosophy

Hot: Crystal, author of Big Bright Bulb, is an amazing woman. She’s vibrant, she’s forthright, she’s clever and inspiring. Lately she touched on a subject that’s been near to the surface of my mind and a thorn in my heart: Laziness. There is often so much in life that needs to get accomplished, and if [...]



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 [...]



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 [...]



Get Your Shit Together

By AmHm • Dec 10th, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: Look, anyone who knows me can attest to the idea that, I’m probably not the most put-together person on the planet. In fact, my inability to get organized, and my all-star procrastinator status really gives me little credibility when it comes to telling you what to do. However, in the past six months, I’ve [...]



Remake: The Sequel Returns Before It Begins

By Sketch E Whiteface • Dec 8th, 2008 • Category: Film

Hot: Almost every movie this year has been a remake, a sequel, or an adaptation from a novel or comic book. Many like me find this to be a sad sight in the realm of films which is why many say that Hollywood hast lost it’s originality. In reality I think the reason why studios [...]



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 [...]



Words to Know: Brobdingnagian Edition

By Giania • Oct 7th, 2008 • Category: WTK

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. This originates from the Jonathan Swift novel, Gulliver’s Travels. The term was coined as a reference to the city in which Gulliver visits where everything is just huge. [...]
