I’m so excited: I just put a call for submissions up on the Erotica readers and Writers Association for the next erotica anthology I’m editing, Best Women’s Erotica 2008. When I took over the series a couple of years ago, I didn’t expect it to be so much fun and so successful for me. I…
Wow — take a quick look at PBS’ MediaShift column by Mark Glaser, where my google is broken post is listed as #3 in The Week’s Top Five “People, Trends And Tech On Our Radar”. What a great thing, to be mentioned in his column like this. It’s interesting to see what my post is…
On New Year’s Eve, I got an email from Matt Cutts, the head of Google’s webspam team. I waited to post this (unedited) excerpt because I wanted to check in with him before doing so. Needless to say, I don’t think Matt had that night off — he emailed me pretty much right after it…
I just turned in the final edits on this book. Now I just have to finish writing this book. (OMG, what a hot cover!!) I think my Mac Mini is crapping out on me. Xeni has an *incredible* post going about how MSM and AVN have trumped up porn sales figures to feed their own…
A dear friend of mine is getting ready to go serve his sentence in federal prison for two years; he surrenders himself in four days. I’ve known him through the Extra Action Marching Band for many years, and he’s a hottie trumpet player loved by all. He is, in fact, the main character I based…
I’m delighted to say that this week’s Chron/SFGate Open Source Sex column is all about Boobs in a Box, Dick in a Box, viral videos and memes, SNL’s digital shorts and the culture around all of it. I do excerpt comparisons between the two video’s rap lyrics, try to see how Dick measures up to…
Last night Casey emailed us GETV kids alerting us to a website — myheavy.com — republishing Blip.tv video content without videobloggers’ permission and plastering it with ads. When I went to the site and searched for my name I found a bunch of my videos as well — plastered with Cingular ads, among other companies!…
Sweet Denver reader damperdan sends me a screencap of the Google ads running with my column at SFGate. WTF? The people behind these ads propagate the worst kind of hurtful and shaming myths about porn and sexuality, and it’s running side-by-side with my sex-positive, pro-porn, yay-sex message. On one hand, it’s funny in a truly…
Dirtyspoke is taking nominations for their 2006 Sex Blog of the Year Awards. Ummm, nominate me if you want? I’m starting to feel like all these online awards things are like those “honk if you’re horny” bumper stickers. Beep! Beep! I think instead of online voting and awards traffic and attention generators like this, we…
This photo set just landed in my inbox. Her name is Tina. Her shoes are… lucky. And here I thought *I* had a shoe fetish.
