I’ve been mulling over a whole bunch of changes to this site for a few days — actually I’ve been depressed, with a few high points, you know, it’s my birthday soon and birthdays have a way of being really great and sucking all at once. Like having my server go down for a while yesterday, and finding out that the impostor stupid racist porn performer who keeps using my name is at Exotic Erotic here in town this october — it’s not me, just someone trading on my name and making it look in local advertising like I’d do *anything* at that shitty event. And my stomach hurts. And I think I’ll be hanging with myself on my birthday, which is weird (Mark P is outta town, or I’d work on machines). So today I spent the day doing what Virgos like to do when we feel upset; organize, clean, spiff up and touch all the objects that constitute meaning in our environments. Actually, I got the bestest, truest Virgo birthday quote this week: I was at SRL monday and hung out a while with my SRL sibling Bob. It was early afternoon and he was drinking a beer — and I happened to be there on his birthday! I was all like, “me too! this friday!” And he replied, ‘yeaaaaah, Virgos!” We clinked, his beer to my special Mark Pauline soy latte with chocolate sprinkles. He continued, “yeah, Virgos fuckin’ rule. ‘I clean the house *and* I’ll fuck the shit out of you!'” I think I shot latte out my nose laughing…
So, updates: take a look around! My front age check page now has a cute new photo taken last weekend; and the really big change is that it now links directly to my blog. I made the old “main” page into a full-on page of my books. I added six new sex podcasts, bringing the total of my curated collection of sex podcasts up to an amazing 45. I re-did my links page and added lots — more incredible resources, more friends, more sex culture blogs. The couples page is much more involved and has more info, as does the erotica page. And a fun update is on the articles/HOWTO page, where I’ll be adding more howto’s as I write them. I also tweaked the porn page a bit, and rearranged my top and left-hand nav. I think everything flows a bit better. I really want to add sitewide search — that’s next.
