Tangent: so last night I decide to have dinner with Fark. The person in charge of blogs at SFGate jokingly told me not to read the comments on the farking of my column. But I decided last night to load the page, walk away and make a salad, and then came back and had a…

My Vloggies, your Vloggies, their Vloggies
As promised — my Vloggies votes for the best in vlogging, side-by-side with the culled judges’ selections and people’s choice awards. Keep in mind that I could only pick from what was in each list (though I made suggestions where I wanted to vote for someone else). The entire list is after the jump; I…
Oh, you fucking idiots
Read the Examiner’s article on blogging — the first line. Tell them how *fucking* stupid they are, please. Here’s the form to tell “a friend” — they did it there again. Update: I just sent an email to editor@examiner.com and contactus@examiner.com that says “I am not a porn star. I am a sex educator. This…
Flickr finds
It’s awfully fun exploring my new Flickr contacts as they come in. This morning I was befriended by vistalux, and while peering at her profile over coffee, I had the joy of investigating an incredibly sexy photo set of hers, My Inky Girls. Apparently she shoots for the site, Inky Girls, and has these nice…
Revolutionary quick-draw condoms
Wow! London Boy just sent me a link to Pronto Condoms, a new line of condoms that don’t need to be unwrapped and go on in seconds (watch the video and see it in action). These South African condoms may also be the first safer-sex items to win a design award — sweet. Snip: “By…
The suit
I’ve always wanted to date men who wear nice suits. It’s my La Dolce Vita fetish. (It’s always been in conflict with the boys-in-workboots fetish). By a series of events this last weekend, a friend left his suit in its garment bag at my house. And tonight, I have insomnia. I’m about to dig into…
Videoblogging is the new NEW videoblogging
I leave for the Vloggies in two hours. I will flatten my hair with a hot tool and then get in a plane and fly five blocks to the Swedish American Hall, where I will be gently carried by Intel employees across the red carpet amidst the cacauphonous frenzy of Flickrazzi flahbulbs popping, and in…
America’s horrifying (newest) abstinence regime
My pal SB just sent me a link to this ABC News article Govt. Tells Singles No Sex Till You’re 30: Critics Say the New Guidelines are About Morality, Not Health. I actually began to weep (no, really) when I read the piece, which explains that the US gov’t just dumped $50 million into the…
New column: YouTube’s porn problem, with answers
Update: I just found out this article was the top-trafficked article yesterday on Chronicle/SFGate! And — it got Farked, with (presently) 23589 outgoing clicks (form Fark). YAY! I’m extremely excited about this week’s Chronicle/SFGate column, GooTube’s Porn Opportunists: The Expanding World of Upload-It-Yourself Smut. You know, the Vloggies are this weekend. And people really need…
The customs of Blogistan, my version
Am I a customs official? No, but when you visit a foreign country it’s nice to know how to hail a cab and get to your destination without pissing off the driver (and even better if you find out where the cool local bars are). This is basically my blogging style guide, the link practices…
