g33k mafia

25 May 2006
So at BEA, Lucky Lana and I are walking around through all the white, washed, dockered masses with our black clothes and goth attitudes and tattoos blazing, and we see someone waving frantically at us down the aisle. It's a girl -- a cute girl! "Hey, Hey! I want you […]

exclusive: Alan Moore’s erotic Lost Girls

25 May 2006
Sometimes I wake up and my inbox is full of surprises -- but this has to be one of the top five for sure. I've long, long been a fan of comic writer Alan Moore, who many of you will recognize from writing/creating Watchmen, From Hell, V for Vendetta, and […]

[video] Metropolis: Maria

24 May 2006
It's four minutes of pure beauty -- I just stumbled across this mesmerizing scene from Fritz Lang's Metropolis on YouTube. It's the sexiest scene in the whole movie, where the mad scientist tramsmutes the human female into a humanistic android in a visually cacauphonous art deco scene. I find it […]

the literal virtual clusterfuck

24 May 2006
My friend Scott is a huge Second Life fan. At his New Year's party we spent a tipsy few minutes in the kitchen where he explained why I should be interested in it, and about its various controversies -- which interested me more. I went home and signed up, downloaded […]

back: BEA wrapup

24 May 2006
Before moving onward, I know that quite a few writers read this blog so it only makes sense that I do a BEA wrapup. Fortunately for me, my "handler" Lucky Lana beat me to the bloggy punch by writing her own excellent summary of our experiences there. I also had […]

meme of the week

23 May 2006
I'm offline all day in meetings and appointments and stuff, but in the meantime check out the wee meme hitting my inbox from a variety of unrelated sources: the upcoming film Psychopathia Sexualis. Tony Comstock blogged about it then got to talk to the film's director Brett Wood. Viviane blogged […]

[video] Make vs. Wal Mart

22 May 2006
Allow me to interrupt this sex blog with an incredible video: in response to Wal-Mart's new campaign to trademark the smiley face (this is true), Make: Blog has fired a seriously awesome and highly symbolic missive over the bow of the behemoth, at least in video form. It looks like […]

dancing through jesusland

21 May 2006
BEA was huge. Gigantic. And there are oodles of christian publishers -- so many, I couldn't just pick one to harass. I was one of the (3?) sex authors in the roughly five football fields of book publishers represented at BEA. It's astounding; sex publishing makes up a really signifigant […]

[audio] open source sex 38

20 May 2006
Before I run off to BEA, I should let you know about the new podcast I uploaded before I left SF -- it's one of my all-time favorite interviews to date. If you want to laugh, listen in! Text: In the ongoing interview series I'm doing at NPR, this has to […]

mistakes are awesome

19 May 2006
I saw the Capitol building today for the first time (I think that's where they keep the Senatards) and the Washington Monument, all on the way from the airport to the hotel. The conversation with the cab driver went like this: he: "First time in DC?" me: "Yes." he: "Welcome. (pause) This is […]

waiting

19 May 2006
I'm sitting here in Houston, I mean George Bush Intercontinental/Houston Airport, waiting for my connecting flight. This airport is like the biggest dirty buttcrack I've ever seen. In addition, I just realized that I forgot to pack a single sex toy. That means I'm going to have to do everything […]

leaving san francisco

19 May 2006
It's 3am and I can't sleep -- but I just spent an hour in a mosh pit and got kicked out of a leather bar with about 30 musicians and dancers, so it's no wonder. Extra Action, and seeing all my friends in it, is the most perfect way to […]

Azimuth Design finally gets it right

18 May 2006
Reader Z has alerted me to Azimuth Design's cast resin replica Violet Vixen, obviously named and modeled after me. I can tell by looking at the comic book that comes with her that she's a cyborg of some kind -- a femmebot! -- and has an itchy trigger finger. Oh, […]

super cool nyt link generator

18 May 2006
A London reader sent me this URL to a New York Times link generator, which allows a blogger to plug in the URL to a NYT article and not have it expire when NYT archives it. This way people who read the post through archives and search engines can read […]

sock garters: check

18 May 2006
I'm packed. It took 20 minutes. Viviane wrote to tell me, "You think that Wired Rave party was straight? Boy, DC will have your skin crawling in a few hours. By all means, wear extra garters."

I attended Nerd Salon and spontaneously became my Geek Entertainment TV correspondent self to interview Annalee Newitz, Jennifer Granick and Phillip Torrone. We're all having way, way too much fun.

a pause

17 May 2006
I spent the entire day offline yesterday -- almost. It was the pause that refreshed. Actually, I had breakfast with my friend Geoff Cordner and his beautiful, whipsmart partner Eden -- they were visiting from LA because Geoff had a film in the Docfest. After breakfast I took Mark some […]

17 May 2006
Does Hustler think I want a copy of "Britney Rears 2: I Wanna Get Laid!"? Um, not that it doesn't look totally awesome. I mean, hott.

teledildonics patent trolls: you got served

17 May 2006
A reader who wishes to remain anonymous has tipped me to the SCOTUS decision that will effectively bury patent trolls. This is incredible news for the field of teledildonics invention and innovation, which has been kept in a stranglehold by a single patent and its enforcers for several years. It's […]
