Year: 2007

If you read Defamer as voraciously as I do, you already saw some of these, but a quick search on Flickr brings up a nice batch of photos taken of the “drunk Paris Hilton” sexualized autopsy sculpture (photo via laylac). As you can tell, it’s by Daniel Edwards, the same artist who brought us the…

Great machine demo this afternoon at Maker Faire. Except, um, for the part where they’ve impounded our machines. Update when I get it. Still, I had an outrageously good time operating the Running Machine. I sort of broke it, but the damage is repairable :) Meanwhile, Monochrom blogs from my couch; I don’t call it…

Great news as I get ready to conk out (tomorrow I staff the SRL booth at Maker Faire). My book Best Women’s Erotica 2007 won the Gold Medal — first place slot — for Best Erotica Book 2007 in the IPPY Awards! Second year I edited the series, second win in a row, and first…

Until my next posty goodness, check out: * In bed with…

So wonderful, especially since I named those books after La Dolce Vita, one of my all-time favorite movies. And I also found out this week…

It’s just been announced; I’ll be one of the judges for SXSW’s Click mobile media film festival. Click is in its fourth year, and it aims to be, “A year-round initiative created to showcase short-form storytelling via mobile devices and the web.” The post sez, “Among the jury who will be charged with watching the…
