WHAT ARE LITTLE CUBES?

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.

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