I’ve been a fan of atlporn graphic designer Alaska (we profiled him on Fleshbot here), and I just noticed this What Happens in Iraq, Stays in Iraq t-shirt design he worked on a while back. Creepy.

Of turning 1000, and SXSW
For the 1000th post, I’ll announce that it’s official — I’m a speaker at SXSW. I’ve never been, and I’m really excited about it. Blip.tv has invited me to come and participate in their “Show Me The Money! Consumers Get Paid for Video Content?” session, scheduled for Tuesday, March 13 from 10:00-11:00 am. I have…
Of TWITs and twats
Gizmodo turned my nose into a coffee shooter this morning with their post, Sex Ed Blogger Violet Blue to Start TWaT, the All-Girl Tech Podcast? (ZOMFG, thank you Gizmodo!) Snip: “When sex/tech blogger and educator Violet Blue was listed on the Forbes list of web celebs, she didn’t expect to be publicly shit-talked by another…
Sunday nibbles
* My two favorite new blogs this week: hoaxdevices.com and xenuday.com. * Blogfriend Vince at the Liberty Guys emails me this morning to say, “As I suspected – Republican Texas governor Rick Perry’s motives for mandating HPV vaccination aren’t exactly pure.” Vince and I have been having some interesting back and forth emails about the…
Six Inch Snails, porn for a Friday night
Six Inch Snails is a website you’ll want to investigate a tiny bit, though they need some site design help; definitely watch their flix (I enjoyed “showgirl”). The nasty trailer for their Austrian film Viennese makes me realize I need to go back to Vienna. And the discovery of Skin Flick Snippets looking for Viennese…
Patrick Norton responds to Leo LaPorte
If you’re still following along with the ugliness that unfolded after my column Web Celebs and my Rainbow-Flag Bikini (about This Week in Tech dissing the Forbes 25 Web Celeb list, especially the women on it, especially me), you’ll want to see this. Apparently there has been some communication between SFGate, LaPorte, and possibly the…
Extra Action Marching Band deleted from Wikipedia
Has the world gone upside-down crazy? Are pigs checking out their new wings? The Extra Action Marching Band has been deleted from Wikipedia. The deletion review claims they are of “questionable notability”. Now, wait just a minute. They are THE San Francisco treat. They are a national treasure-trail. They are the descendants of legendary seminal…
OMG — super cool MRI porn
Sent, courtesy of a reader in the Netherlands. Snip from Magnetic resonance imaging of male and female genitals during coitus and female sexual arousal: “Purpose: To find out whether taking images of the male and female genitals during coitus is feasible and to find out whether former and current ideas about the anatomy during sexual…
HPV vaccine now a law in Texas
And… the mandatory HPV vaccine for 5th grade girls was pushed through by conservative christian Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who bypassed the legislature and signed it into law today. I think 2007 is going to be an interesting year. Snip: “By issuing an executive order, Perry apparently sidesteps opposition in the Legislature from conservatives and…
Boy in a bathtub
I’ve long, long been a fan of Maria Beatty‘s amazing erotic, mostly lesbian, BDSM gothic films — they’ve been awarded in film fests around the globe, too. I especially love (and wish I owned) The Black Glove and Ladies of the Night: Les Vampyres; I really want to see Ecstasy In Berlin, 1926. Mostly, I…
