wups

20 May 2007
Great machine demo this afternoon at Maker Faire. Except, um, for the part where they've impounded our machines. Update when I get it. Still, I had an outrageously good time operating the Running Machine. I sort of broke it, but the damage is repairable :) Meanwhile, Monochrom blogs from my couch; I […]

my multimedia whereabouts :)

17 May 2007
I'm working day and night loading and making (new!) machines with a very small crew as part of SRL for Maker Faire -- I'm actually sitting on the SRL couch blogging this on a small break before putting the Hovercraft on the flatbed. I am photoblogging a lot; follow along […]

Site Updates; My Porn For Women Recommendations In O (Oprah) Magazine

15 May 2007
I decided to take the night off from SRL -- I'll be full-time through monday after this -- and do some much-needed site updates. I added The Smart Girl's Guide to the G-Spot to the sidebar; I know I don't promo my own books much around here, but that one […]

goodnight, hater

15 May 2007
Black Sheep has some choice quotes to remember Falwell by (via Gawker). Also, Wonkette screencaps Falwell's Wikipedia death update. Let's also not forget, while Fox rolls out the barely-disguised tributes and Bush mourns his hero, and I regret that I did not yet get famous enough to have a chance […]

okay

14 May 2007
I want to write a weekly column called "This Week In Sex Hysteria". But right now I'm writing my Chron column instead (after breakfast with sweet and truly wonderful Viviane, a trip with her to SRL, and back home now emailing with HPV researchers). Until my next posty goodness, check out: * […]

a good week in sex books (for me!)

11 May 2007
Great news in my inbox upon return form SRL (where I found new appreciation for safety glasses today). Sweet Life 1 and 2 are both being translated into -- Italian! So wonderful, especially since I named those books after La Dolce Vita, one of my all-time favorite movies. And I […]

nekkid happy girls in my inbox

11 May 2007
I'm still on a couple of good artporn lists, but it's been a while since anything has landed in my inbox worth sharing -- and especially with the case of Hegre, last time I posted a few galleries I liked, I heard back from you that the models were TOO […]

a tourist in a tranny bar, and more

11 May 2007
This week's column is about going to a Tenderloin dive tranny bar with Hacker Boy, my adopted mother Theresa Sparks, and adopted aunt Cecilia Chung. It was sooo much fun! But as I expected, I got some really evil mail about this one -- I've noticed that if there's […]

hammer horror emerges from the crypt

10 May 2007
Back when I was a budding porn nerd, I spent much of my time wishing I was a lesbian vampire in old Hammer Horror films -- because they ate the good guys, fucked the bad guys and deflowered nubile, big-boobed villagers by the dozens (or bathed in their blood if […]

I love my new PowerShot TX1. Too much, maybe. Video on this show page, and after the jump. * (Oh, and no, they didn't give me one. I bought it.) (more...)

gizoogle makes my bliznog tinynizzles, beyotches

9 May 2007
Was actually having such a bad day I was about to begin openly weeping -- when my dear friend Chriso sent me this: I Gizoogled your blog. "Violet Bizzy". Bwahah! My bio is great, but the sidebar just made me laugh out loud! "Best Bitches' Erotica"! And down the page -- "B-L-to-tha-izzipnDoggy Stylin' […]

beware the SRL lie

8 May 2007
Which is currently up on Amazon right now -- see the review/comment Mark just wrote signed in as Karen, where he makes it crystal clear that someone is selling a book falsely under his -- our -- name. I've been working my ass off pounding sheet metal at SRL all […]

morning after pills, new babies

8 May 2007
At the Cancun airport, they sell the morning-after pill near the gates in a drugstore amongst all the other shops. Also -- I got home to see that the UPS stork brought me the early-shipped Canon PowerShot TX1, which I'll be toting down to the SRL shop later this afternoon. […]

8 May 2007
Just found it on Videosift while totally *not looking for videos on how to vacuum the cat*. It's the cutest animated pro-condom video ever: My Boy Lollipop will totally leave you smiling. (One thing -- don't use whipped cream with condoms as depicted in one of the scenes, the oil […]

6 May 2007
Why am I sitting here in my hotel room watching Vlog Deathmatch videos when there's a beachside bar beckoning? Because Slutsky just *brought it* that's why. Bow down, Canadians. Bow down.
