By Giania • Oct 11th, 2009 • Category: Fnord

Hot: As a retrospective I’ve decided to dump (nearly) every picture I took. There’s a mix of travel photos, some repeat photos from previous posts, and photos of Portland. Click on the thumbnails below for the big version. And the photo on the detail page for the extra big version. Also I just remembered that [...]



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 [...]

Dream Log: Zombies, Volcanoes and… Weekly Geek??! Bonus Dream: Lovecraftian Time Travel Disaster

By Giania • Nov 27th, 2008 • Category: Dream Log

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 [...]



Mix and Mash Part 1: Introduction to a Colorific Exploration of Favorites

By Giania • Nov 14th, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: A while back I asked people on my Twitter friends list to DM me with the answer to a really simple question: What is your favorite color? I got some really interesting responses, and I thought to myself: “Hey self” “Yeah?” “What if we do a really neat post out of this?” “Well! That’s [...]



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. [...]



An Event Apart Day One Conference Notes Part 1

By Giania • Jun 27th, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: Day one was fraught with challenges, up to and including having trouble finding the venue. It took a lot of wandering around, a phone call, and I think two concierge desk stops to finally figure out that the Copley Plaza Marriott was in fact through the Copley Plaza Westin and the attached mall. That [...]

Words to Know: Shaking Off the Dust

By Giania • May 28th, 2008 • Category: WTK

Hot: Now here is a bit I haven’t done in quite some time! The Words To Know series had all but died. Tonight I feel like shaking the dust off, brushing away the cobwebs, and putting WTK to work once more. I’ve decided to go easy on the old girl, by featuring two terms, and [...]



High-larious High-jinx: Airport Security Boo-Boo & Ancient Pot

By Giania • May 26th, 2008 • Category: Articles of Interest

Hot: It’s a two for one special! Come for the paraphrasing of a pretty funny BBC article, and stay for the hook up on ancient cannabis usage! I happened to pop my head into the ectochat and what to my wondering eyes did appear but a BBC article link! Upon following it I discovered that [...]
