First I want to thank everyone for emailng me and making sure I’m alright. Extra smooches to Coop and Ruth, who arrived in New York *right* after the WTC attacks. I’ll start with a few realizations. Realization #1: If I’d been on the earlier plane, I’d have been in the Underground in the wrong place…
Violet Blue
The London Times named Violet Blue "One of the 40 bloggers who really count" and Self Magazine named TinyNibbles one of the “Best Sex Resources for Women.” Blue is an author and journalist on sex and technology, hacking and security, porn for women, privacy and bleeding-edge tech culture. She is a columnist for Engadget; she's an educator, speaker, crisis counselor, volunteer NGO trainer, and the author and editor of over 40 award-winning books. Blue is also an advisor for Without My Consent, as well as a member of the Internet Press Guild.
Safe in London
It’s about 4pm here now in London, and I’ve arrived at London Boy’s house in safety; London was bombed shortly before my plane touched down. About the time I was getting off the plane, the officials were changing their story about a “power surge” in the Underground to state that there had been seven explosions…
Not Arrested, Just Swamped
The phone messages are getting more desperate, the emails impatient, my friends are giving up on me… I haven’t been arrested for anything, but my life has been so insane I’m off the map. And tomorrow I’ll literally be off the US map — I’ll be on a plane to London, where hopefully I’ll just…
Quick Update
I *am* still alive, though my voice is still a bit more like Suzanne Pleshette (from the weekend) than I’d like. Check out my hot new action over at SFist, where I’m now a columnist! (“SFisting”) But now I have to work it for Fleshbot, where I’m taking over as editor for the next two…
Smoochy pants
So I kind of won the kissing contest at the Pride celebration today…! My friend Miss Jessi worked the Magnet booth while I sucked up the margaritas, and suddenly there was an announcement that they’d be giving away free gay porn at the stage. But since the last thing I need is free porn, I…

And a bit of commentary…
In a limo with Chi Chi LaRue
Too drunk and late to post, really… Jack‘s birthday… more pics.
Yay for the guide!
Even though I called them “potty mouthed boozers,” SFist writes: “…while you’re still sober enough to read, we’ve been scouring the internets all week for commentary and criticism. First, and most important, is Violet Blue’s “Welcome to San Francisco” guide to Pride. She hits all the right points…” Different topic, but cool — the LibertyGuys…
Someday this will make a great book
I’m all extra riled up right now about the whole 2257 debacle. There’s something really, really shady and fishy going on. I read this article and just couldn’t beleive it — it’s like the mafia. Then I cruised over to see what people were having to go through to get a membership to the “safe…
Porn People Scare Me
If you didn’t see the fine, fine specimen of retardation known as Mary Carey tonight on the Daily Show, you really must watch it here (@ crooksandliars.com, a truly awesome site). Plus, it showcases a few more reasons why I love Stephen Colbert… and a few more reasons why porn people really scare me. I…
