roboexotica: the results

12 December 2006
GETV action image by Jacob Appelbaum I have indeed returned from the land of Red Bull -- did you know that Austria is where it comes from? For me, this was a discovery. For the Austrians, it is just another thing to mix with booze. No wonder there were like a […]

oh luggage and phone, how I miss you

12 December 2006
This is day three without my big suitcase and everything in it, including my phone -- so if you're trying to call me, you should really send me an email instead. My Blackberry was in my case... as are socks, undies, my flatiron, all my makeup, my ruffle-but beaded panties, […]

mccain’s new law would extend obscenity laws to blogs

12 December 2006
Also to mailing lists, message boards, chatrooms, social networking sites, hosting services, domain name registration services, search services and video hosting services. What an ignorant douche. Snip from Slashdot: "Senator John McCain has proposed a bill to extend federal obscenity reporting guidelines to all forms of internet communications. Those who fail […]

12 December 2006
Two weeks ago I blogged the free neekid girlie holiday e-cards available from Hegre right now -- but if you love the pinups, fifties' fetish, squishy delicious natural bodies and a touch of playful fetish (and can totally live without the Santa hats on your babes), check out the newest […]

geeky new adult social networking site

12 December 2006
My inbox is a constant erotic treasure-trove; were it a plate of cupcakes I'd be sitting in it right now... I just got an email from the people who made Playful Bent, an extremely interesting, 2.0 buzzword-compliant, adult social networking site that has a lot of smarty-pants features for us […]

the taugshow

11 December 2006
Monochrom invited me to Vienna last week to participate in/cover Roboexotica and to be a special guest on their Austrian TV show, the Taugshow -- and I had a great time! Yaaaaay! The Taugshow was entirely in English, and was so funny my face actually hurt from smiling and laughing […]

intermission, with pretty girls

11 December 2006
A pause from the blog that is my life, to share with you the new free galleries in my inbox. Especially because one has got to be the cutest girl they've sent me yet -- European model, Yanka. Also, check out the uber-sexy panty shots with Amandine, long-haired Alya, and […]

GETV Roboexotica episode

10 December 2006
I'm blogging this from my own bed, yay! I'm home safe and sound (except minus one major piece of luggage, so if you're trying to call me I think my phone is still at Heathrow). I am absolutely beat and have lots to blog, but wanted to call your […]

It's the last night of Roboexotica -- I was on the Taugshow; Eddie and I shot a bunch of cocktail-heavy interviews for GETV and I'll have a wrap up with award winners when I get home (tonight I had a lot of Absinthe, just packed, and I get on a […]

a short tour of the vienna museumsquartier

6 December 2006
Today, a video: I'm blogging from the Vienna museumsquartier, where I've been spending most of my time -- so very cool. In it, I'm hung over and sedate as I walk around looking at the central square... video is embedded after the jump. Also: here's the video link for different playback […]

6 December 2006
It's just after lunchtime and I'm sitting in the Roboexotica exhibition space on a lovely green vintage couch, actually literally in an installation that evokes modern retro cocktail culture. This is the definitive flavor of Roboexotica; it's the kind of festival that blends European socializing where nothing is rushed and […]

roboexotica, day one

5 December 2006
Today is the opening day for Roboexotica, the international festival for cocktail robotics. As many of you know, I'm here in Vienna, Austria as a guest of the festival. I just woke up and the sun just went down -- am I ready for a cocktail? Ummm, not quite yet, […]

weird — I’m near the top of the “war on blogs” hitlist?

4 December 2006
I came across this yesterday, posted by Wil Wheaton: "Wikipedia Trolls try to get entries on bloggers deleted A well-known group of childish trolls is at it again, this time launching a coordinated effort to delete pages for several popular and well-known bloggers on Wikipedia. Their first (and current) target is Tony […]

great snips

4 December 2006
I just edited the cocktail robot descriptions for the exhibitions (they get my editing talents in exchange for... drinks). These are great excerpts: "A ballet of 15, 30, 150, 1000, corkscrews, dancing, generating their own sound, computer-operated, animated!" "Three different long drinks (plus ice) are prepared by CockBot I in the comfortable […]

haven’t slept since friday night

3 December 2006
... And I'm about to pass out. My Vienna photoset is here, will grow every chance I get to upload. Jake Appelbaum crashed hard in the room across from mine earlier and wouldn't wake up; we're all jetlag victims. Jonathan Moore pretty much just lost consciousness on my bed fully […]

snakes okay, robots not

3 December 2006
I'm sitting in Heathrow right now waiting to connect to my Vienna flight, and had to stop and share the fact that one of my in-flight movies was Snakes on a Plane! And, no robots allowed. Which is a concern actually, because I'm traveling with a robot for the exhibition, […]

my host in Vienna

2 December 2006
Is a really interesting guy -- meet Johannes Grenzfurthner, the person who invited me as a special guest of Roboexotica, will be doing a 20-minute segment on me on Austrian TV, and whose house I'll be staying at. Wow! Why does waiting for a shuttle make me blog nervously?

gay porn murder case: a nightmare of homophobia

2 December 2006
I've been watching the Google News headlines evolve over the past week about the gay porn star who murdered a wealthy Denver 'benefactor' in cold blood, but what I'm reading about the "Playgirl killer" murder case at Gay Porn Blog is equally chilling and fascinating. I knew, like many, that […]
