BEA was huge. Gigantic. And there are oodles of christian publishers — so many, I couldn’t just pick one to harass. I was one of the (3?) sex authors in the roughly five football fields of book publishers represented at BEA. It’s astounding; sex publishing makes up a really signifigant part of the market but…

[Audio] Open Source Sex 38
Before I run off to BEA, I should let you know about the new podcast I uploaded before I left SF — it’s one of my all-time favorite interviews to date. If you want to laugh, listen in! Text: In the ongoing interview series I’m doing at NPR, this has to be one of my…
Mistakes are awesome
I saw the Capitol building today for the first time (I think that’s where they keep the Senatards) and the Washington Monument, all on the way from the airport to the hotel. The conversation with the cab driver went like this: he: “First time in DC?” me: “Yes.” he: “Welcome. (pause) This is a bad…
Waiting
I’m sitting here in Houston, I mean George Bush Intercontinental/Houston Airport, waiting for my connecting flight. This airport is like the biggest dirty buttcrack I’ve ever seen. In addition, I just realized that I forgot to pack a single sex toy. That means I’m going to have to do everything with my HANDS. So retro.…
Leaving San Francisco
It’s 3am and I can’t sleep — but I just spent an hour in a mosh pit and got kicked out of a leather bar with about 30 musicians and dancers, so it’s no wonder. Extra Action, and seeing all my friends in it, is the most perfect way to leave home I can think…
Azimuth Design finally gets it right
Reader Z has alerted me to Azimuth Design’s cast resin replica Violet Vixen, obviously named and modeled after me. I can tell by looking at the comic book that comes with her that she’s a cyborg of some kind — a femmebot! — and has an itchy trigger finger. Oh, and mighty nipples. That’s how…
Super cool NYT link generator
A London reader sent me this URL to a New York Times link generator, which allows a blogger to plug in the URL to a NYT article and not have it expire when NYT archives it. This way people who read the post through archives and search engines can read the article in the future.…
Sock garters: Check
I’m packed. It took 20 minutes. Viviane wrote to tell me, “You think that Wired Rave party was straight? Boy, DC will have your skin crawling in a few hours. By all means, wear extra garters.”
[Video] Nerd Salon and Roomba Cockfights
Must-see geek TV! This is my favoritest video that I’ve ever been in, ever! I attended Nerd Salon and spontaneously became my Geek Entertainment TV correspondent self to interview Annalee Newitz, Jennifer Granick and Phillip Torrone. We’re all having way, way too much fun. Watch and enjoy! Text: “How can anyone say no to cockfighting…
A pause
I spent the entire day offline yesterday — almost. It was the pause that refreshed. Actually, I had breakfast with my friend Geoff Cordner and his beautiful, whipsmart partner Eden — they were visiting from LA because Geoff had a film in the Docfest. After breakfast I took Mark some lunch and gave my visitors…
