galacticast’s starfleet academy

19 October 2007
Not sex-related (by strict definition, anyway), but... if you haven't seen it yet, Galacticast's "Starfleet Academy" is one of my favorite episodes to date. Okay, maybe I'm biased -- especially to see one of my closest friends, Sean Bonner make a cameo as Wil Wheaton! It's really kind of dirty […]

19 October 2007

still breathing (heavily), under lotsa deadlines

15 October 2007
* I'm presenting a five-minute piece called "Porn or Not?" at SF Ignite at the DNA Lounge tomorrow night: that's part of my current insanity (plus my column deadline, this week's is a doozy). * All I want to do is drink a cocktail and make a robot. And then drink […]

12 October 2007
Today I spoke to a packed (standing and sitting on the floor, even) room at Google about sexual privacy online in all forms, understanding sex and search (and who looks for it and why) and so much more. It was a tremendous opportunity to demystify sex and porn (and user […]

the jerry sanders announcement

8 October 2007
Apologies if you've already seen this video but it's incredible, and didn't get nearly enough press -- we thought what Gavin Newsom did here in San Francisco was big, shocking news for gay marriage. But when San Diego mayor Jerry Sanders flipped over 30 years of conservatism and made a […]
