like duh kids have “tech sex”

11 December 2008
And I'm sure the real numbers are a lot higher than those who self-reported for this survey. I read about it this morning in the Telegraph UK, but there's also a piece up on Ars Technica by one of my favorite writers there (Jacqui Cheng) explaining what we already […]

spunky nanobots, literally

7 December 2008
Image via Orangitus. I don't know how I missed this one: a long while back MSNBC reported Scientists look to sperm to power nanobots -- and you know how that stuff can get *everywhere* if you're not mindful. Talk about scientists having their hands full. After reading the essay I published […]

the anthropology of nudity: ethnography challenges mythology cloaked in academe

5 December 2008
Image via phheww. My belief: Typically, as grounds for porn laws and adult establishment regulations, localities and government programs have used “studies” showing so-called adverse effects that are scientifically flawed and can be challenged in argument, point by point.
