The
origin of this site’s name comes from Henri Matisse, who
derisively described early cubist paintings by Georges Braque
and Pablo Picasso as “just little cubes”. We like
derision. And we like the ambition of cubism to take apart things
and reshape them so they can be seen in new ways or different
perspectives. We also hope that any pretension our name implies
is balanced by the fact that the only reason we know anything
about 20th century art is from a trip to the Phoenix Art Museum,
where we spent most of our time in the gift shop trying to decide
what would lend more credibility to our offices- Van Gough mouse
pads or light switch plates.
(Hey listen,
we would have called it Yahoo! if we could.)
All of what
you’ll need is on our front page, updated weekly or so.
Entertain Us! is your basic section for reviews
of new entertainment. Sometimes, we'll have the I Love
It! and I Hate It! segments, or as we
like to call them, “Reviews on Steroids!”, which are
passionate articles about anything. They're sort of like He
Said, She Said pieces except with no gender specification
and not about the same thing.
We’ll
have rare or unheard songs in the Words + Guitar
portion right up until the RIAA comes down on our asses. The traditional
OP/ED section is called ,
because the articles are fun fuel for the brain, and we don’t
care that Microsoft Word puts a squiggly red line under .
We don’t care. We hate Microsoft.
The Celebrity
Guest House will feature interviews with and articles
by people who are living the dream, as long as their dream is
to be famous. In The Zone With Sports Talk is
a column about gardening. Just kidding. It's about cooking. The
Digital Cookbook is all about anarchy in the
computer world of bits and bytes.
We also got
some fake news, an advice column, and probably some other stuff.
Basically, we just want any visitor to think, laugh, and learn,
which pretty much covers everything the Internet is good for in
the first place. Except for masturbation. And when the “thinking
and laughing” business model fails, that’s probably
the direction where we’ll be headed.
Thanks for
coming.

UPDATE: We decided not to bother with all that stuff
you just read about. We'll just post stuff whenever we write something.
