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, […]

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."

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 […]

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 […]

This afternoon I got my pirate radio fix in the Mission and recorded a live session of Open Source Sex, interviewing Shine Louise Houston, the mastermind behind Pink and White Productions. I think it was one of the best interviews yet -- it was hot, sexy, hilarious and really really […]

Tiny Nibbles reader Woodrant emailed me today saying, "I came across this store while walking through a shopping district in Nagoya, Japan. I immediately thought of you and snapped a picture." How very cool. You all know I *do* like the signs with my name on them. Sometimes enough […]

world horrorcon green room

13 May 2006
Last night Thomas calls me and says, "So, did you go to that movie?" I was VIP'd to a film at the Docfest. I said, "No, I decided to stay at home and be depressed tonight." Which was true. For a million reasons, it's been a roller coaster of a […]

virgin sacrifice

12 May 2006
Allow me to direct your attention to an excellent article over at SFGate today: In his never-ending, quixotic, and hilarious mission to de-douchify America, Mark Morford applies his wit and run-on sentence skilz to the topic of Christian "Purity Balls" in Christian Virgins Are Overrated. Here, he tells us of […]

tangent: please don’t carve an emoticon in my skull until I’m dead

11 May 2006
A night ago I finished reading Body Brokers: Inside America's Underground Trade in Human Remains by Annie Cheney (great companion book to Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers and Corpse: Nature, Forensics, and the Struggle to Pinpoint Time of Death). It was fascinating. In it, Cheney mentions bone retooling […]
