What I love about Maker Faire is that it has gone from an outcropping of a seeming O’Reilly side project into a full-blown arts festival, in the most serious and international sense. On the surface it has the feeling of a homegrown arts and crafts fair slash outsider arts gathering: in truth it’s the closest…

Packing for ETech
Image via my Helio Ocean while I packed tonight. Scott‘s already there. I’ll be hanging out with my dear friends: Sir Squid, Eddie, Monochrom, pt, Michael Shiloh, and a few others I hope. I’ve been madly preparing for my ETech talk for days; I even passed on the sekrit guest list and even the offer…
My brain on spin cycle
Staying warm in an Extra Action band jacket: more images. Which will soon become my *life* on spin cycle when March begins (with my upcoming ETech talk, and SXSW here and here speaking engagements)… It’s been a quiet weekend on Tiny Nibbles but a combo of all-work plus some really serious play behind the scenes……
Computer history interviews: My full interview with Jack Tramiel
Click To Play The occasional flashes are people taking our picture, and Jack Tramiel‘s son and grandsons were standing behind Eddie’s camera, watching us the whole time with a group of people. It was intense, and he is an incredible man, a true living legend from the history of modern computing (and games). Interviewing him,…
Touring the dildo factory
My new Chron column is up: Violet and the Dildo Factory, where I tour local dildo makers Vixen Creations. Snip: “We have a dildo factory hidden in plain sight here in San Francisco, and in one sense I did get a Golden Ticket in that I got a tour — a tour with benefits. But…

I’m soooo excited! I was on my way out the door to SRL when I got a box — the first copies, hot off the press, of my new book The Smart Girl’s Guide to Porn! OMG, it’s gorgeous! I ran right to SRL and gave one to Mark and we hugged and exclaimed and…
It takes a village to raise a child
I’ve been silently fuming about something that happened last weekend, and have finally reached the apex of thought and consideration to put a post together. At the SRL party I finally got a chance to catch up with my pal Scott Beale since his trip to Seattle’s Gnomedex 6.0, where he shot lots of his…
Stop the robomadness!
Friend Scott Beale took terrific action photos yesterday, as always — including this favorite (above) and this moment of Eddie and I showing our vloggy feelings for old media. I’ll do the rest of my video updates to this post at Metblogs and visit my album for final photo updates later tonight. Lots of you…
Incredible GETV interview forthcoming
We interviewed theyshallwalk.org for GETV today; an incredible segment where I talked to Monty Reed who was paralyzed in a parachute accident and created an exoskeleton to walk and lift things with. He wants to develop them for paras, quads and SCI people, simply incredible stuff. I shot a video super-quick with the GETV microphone…
