Year: 2006

Well, now… ever text some sugar to your squeeze, thinking you wanted to send them a little more? Looks like someone had the same idea and did something about it. I just got an email from someone doing work on The Toy, a blandly named but very intriguing-looking text/SMS activated vibrating bullet. I’d love to…

Last year I did a top ten sexiest geeks of 2005 list for Tiny Nibbles, which was followed a week later by Wired’s ten sexiest geeks (and they sweetly included me). As seen on Fleshbot and Kotaku this week, it looks like Wired has announced their call for nominations on their year-end sexy geek list…

* This story is fun for oh so many reasons, and not just because I already have *two* work uniforms if I needed a job in Arizona: Erotic eatery’s nurse uniforms criticized. Snip: “The Heart Attack Grill features flirtatious waitresses serving food in the skimpy uniforms, the Baltimore Sun reported. But the head of the…

It seems to me that some people take christmas really seriously. Like, I know that the guys who dress as Santa for Macy’s grow their real beards out, and some even stay in character the whole time they’re in the getup, to the excitement of children and the uneasy dismay of adults. And in dressing,…

You knew I would. Who could resist? * Image from Muki’s Kitchen, sadly untouched for a year. Still, cute and quite graphic/explicit thumbnail images in free galleries of girls (and boys) being transformed into delicious longpig. * Back when I was editor of the Good Vibes Magazine (it ruled! I ruled!), I asked my pals…

Snip:…

I’ve been re-reading versions of this story all day long, I’m so fascinated by it, about people who can taste words. Synesthesia has always been dreamily romantic to me, but this form of it, “lexical-gustatory” synesthesia, seems particularly ripe for erotic fantasy (especially for a writer like me). Plus it’s perfect reading for food holiday…

Forwarded to me from HR Lori, The Tech Chronicles puts a bloggy fatwa on Cnet (UK) for their crappy, obnoxious, utterly developmentally disabled list Top Ten Girl Geeks: Your Essential Guide. Read the list, and it’s clear that Cnet has some *outstanding* drug connections. Snip: “They are girl geeks? Hear the blogosphere roar. Cnet, in…

This morning: a cracked and broken front tooth, laceration on tongue, and according to the vet, a bruised trachea. I have to monitor him for the next 24 hours. What happened to Alex? I want a kitty head-mounted, infra-red cat cam now more than ever. He is SO on house arrest over the holiday weekend.…
