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 [...]



Don’t Stop At Your Television – Throw Away Your Whole Tech Life

By Guest Author • Dec 6th, 2008 • Category: Philosophy

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, [...]



Better Late Than Never: Halloween Treat

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

Hot: Some time after he donned fishnets and a corset for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and before he scared the ever-loving crap out of me in IT (1990), Tim Curry found himself in a made-for-television film called The Worst Witch. With other notable names such as Diana Rigg, Fairuza Balk (a hilarious role [...]



Untamed and Uncut: Goose Attack

By AmHm • Aug 19th, 2008 • Category: Film

Hot: “Now drugged, and wielding a camera tripod, Blacky begins to charge…”” Last night, while flipping through the channels, my roommates and I came across an exceedingly misleading show entitled “Untamed and Uncut: Goose Attack.” Naturally, we were sold. The boys and I exchanged solemn nods. “Let’s do it.””Would it be weird to watch porn [...]



NH Media Makers Minutes 08-10-08

By Giania • Aug 10th, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: My awesome Lorem Ipsum shirt provided by TeeFury, makers of fine, rare designer tshirts. First off, it was great to see everybody again! I had missed the last two Media Makers events and kicked myself pretty hard both times. Thanks to my cat and the fact that I have a memory like a (rusted) [...]



Design-a-Vagina Contest Redux Closed

By Giania • Jun 30th, 2008 • Category: Recursion

Hot: Yes, once again our first-ever contest, the Design-a-Vagina Contest (Redux), has come to a close. The results are already in and those results may be expressed with the following image. If you can’t read that, and I don’t blame you if you can’t, it says “This Page Intentionally Left Blank” – which is to [...]



Design-a-Vagina Contest to Re-run

By Giania • May 27th, 2008 • Category: Recursion

Hot: Friends of RKNet may recall our first attempt at a contest, the Design-a-Vagina contest. Friends of RKNet may also recall that the contest, minus Dr. Hypercube’s brilliant concept submission was a spectacular failure. Perhaps the contest was simply too ahead of its time, perhaps it was simply released from the nest before it was [...]



Well, Hell, They’re Just WORDS

By Giania • Apr 5th, 2008 • Category: Internet Toys

Hot: Created by OnePlusYou I’d be interested to see how this test really works. I should check my log files for some kind of crawler. The results came back surprisingly fast, given the amount of pages here (especially when you take into account the tags and categories). I’m inclined to say that this percentage is [...]



Recent Obsession: Black Books and Dylan Moran

By Giania • Feb 3rd, 2008 • Category: Film

Hot: In this comedy created in 2000, Dylan Moran is head writer and star. (He’s David from Shaun of the Dead for those keeping score at home.) He plays Bernard Black, the sour, selfish, alcoholic, chain smoking owner of Black Books. The series centers around him, the shop, and his two friends: Fran and Manny. [...]



Listen to Good Hip-Hop: MC Chris (remixed)

By Giania • Jan 2nd, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot: I think I mentioned once before that I’m not dreadfully astute when it comes to the world of hip-hop, mainstream, underground, or otherwise. I fibbed a little there. I am a budding fan of what’s been dubbed as “nerdcore”. While I’m sure anyone familiar with nerdcore has heard the name MC Chris (and possibly [...]
