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 state [...]

I want to thank everyone for reading, for commenting, for subscribing to the feed, and for generally being awesome. I hope this coming arbitrary Gregorian time period is as fun, as enlightening, as painless, and as unpredictable as possible. [read the rest]



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 paper. [...]



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 you’re [...]

A whole two days early, my G1 arrived on my doorstep. And now, for your viewing pleasure, the unboxing, and for your reading enjoyment, my first impressions of this snazzy new phone and it’s Google-developed OS, Android.

2 New Plugins Today

By Giania • Mar 28th, 2008 • Category: Recursion

Hot:

Because I’ve caught a serious case of Twitter fever, I’ve added the TwitterTools plugin, which will daily dump my meaningless tweets (from my personal twitter, not the RKNet twitter) into a single post. The benefit of this is that you, gentle readers, will be privvy to the exciting (HA) life of yours truly, and get [...]



Bookmarklet to Enhance Your Flickr Experience

By Giania • Mar 11th, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot:

Traipsing about my collection of RSS links, as I am oft wont to do, I discovered one labeled Blackr. Despite the obvious Web 2.0 name, it struck me as curious and I proceeded.
Blackr is described as a way to view Flickr content without all the noise of navigation, comments, and various whatnots. There weren’t [...]



Girls Can Pee Standing Up!

By Giania • Feb 12th, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot:

A while back I wrote an article discussing the less-than-finer points of an invention known as the “shenis”. The inventor happened by here just yesterday and decided to let me know that she wasn’t terribly enthused by my rather negative first impression.
Well, once the subject of “what’s a girl to do when there’s no sit-down [...]



Marketing Tool Site Spotted: Cumul.us

By Giania • Nov 9th, 2007 • Category: Fnord

Hot:

Cumul.us is a cute little site that shows you the weather for your area, lets you and people in your area make predictions on what the weather is going to be like in the near future and declare how you intend to equip yourself (clothing-wise) for said weather.
It’s interesting, and does show the weather, but [...]



From the What The Fuck Files: The “Shenis”

By Giania • Oct 12th, 2007 • Category: Fnord, Science!

Hot:

If I may be so bold as to quote Animaniacs…
“It’s time for another good idea, bad idea”
Good idea:
A device that allows folks with female sex organs to pee standing up.
Bad idea:
Fashioning said device to look something akin to a giant golden dildo.
It’s certainly a device that’s an invention of necessity. Yet I fail to see [...]
