…just found out that my panel has been moved to 10pm. Yes. 10pm. I did two presentations yesterday, and the media coverage is excellent to far. Wired has lots of great images by Lane Hartwell (::smooch::) here and here; Scott Beale has this fantastic post and terrific images. More media has been liveblogged in images on Flickr, especially by metaphorge. The whole conference has been *incredible* — informative, full of ideas and big brains coming together, and even some (non porn) business has been conducted. It reminds me of the creative energy at Webzine 2005 and Vloggercon 2006. Exciting and smart people doing (and talking about) exciting, scary, and even hilarious things — about sex!

I’m working on a video right now, with some incredible footage shot by me and Matt Ganucheau; Eon McKai is behind me at a table with his laptop, being snarky as I write this…

It’s all especially fitting to be at the punchy, we’re-all-tired end of the porn and tech conference on Porn Sunday: October 7, the “official” anti-porn day.

Update: Eon just gave me incredibly valuable over-the-shoulder compression advice on my video (of course much will be solved with a new machine, urgh), and now my video will be a tour of Kink.com during Arse setup, with Matt Ganucheau testing and describing Moaning Lisa. I am happy. But tired. Home stretch. But everyone is laughing and having waaaay too much fun.
