Sean Bonner asks the question, who let PayPerPost into 2.0? We’re having the O’Reilly Web 2.0 conference in SF right now — the same O’Reilly who wrote the so-called civility standards enforcing ‘code of conduct’ many of us made fun of because it made little sense to actual bloggers. Well, now it’s starting to make…
Year: 2007
Mmmm, morning wood
Seen on Our Lady Fleshbot a while back, still yummy any time of the day or night for girls like me: Londoner Luke Stephenson’s Morning Glory series. Take two and call me in the morning? Okay!
Celebrity hate mail
Okay, well, sort of on the ‘celebrity’ part. Paul Barresi emails me from a quaint AOL address, saying, Dear Violet Let me get this “straight”. You were approached by an idiot at the GayVN’s with no class and pointed to him as the best representation of a straight man in gay porn? Your story is…
Videoblogging Week day 10
Woke up this *afternoon* in a coughing fit, felt down. I watched a video my sweet friend Addy sent me, the original version of What’s It’s Like For A Girl. It made me want to make a video; I think you’ll find the results surprising. A crime yes, but victimless, I assure you. Embed after…
On the Vloggies show: Anything Goes vs. Civility Enforced!
This week I squared off with Sheriff Irina Slutsky of the Vloggies Show in a sexed-up face-off of the so-called ‘blogger code of conduct’. I’m especially excited to see Irina introduce our confrontation by giving her opinion of the O’Rielly proposed blogging guidelines — and then, of course, I’m the rep for “anything goes” in…
Sick girl girly video night in: Party of one
I’m all sick-in-bed girl and utterly nonplussed about a long day of watching people being jerks on blogs, and missing a party I really wanted to go to. But I’m really glad I just watched Beyonce’s video Green Light (at Vivane’s)– not a noteworthy pop song, but every single costume in the video is skin-tight…
New Bloggers Undressed: Sean Bonner
In this episode, I ask Sean Bonner what makes a sexy geek… sexy? Watch it on the show page or embedded after the jump. His answers are very revealing.
Sour grapes, sore loser: Brian Williams, MSM
I think this pretty much depicts how MSM feels about bloggers, citizen media and online indy journalism — this quote from Brian Williams, anchor of NBC Nightly News, speaking to NYU journalism students: You’re going to be up against people who have an opinion, a modem, and a bathrobe. All of my life, developing credentials…
Yay for Fleshbot posts
Two fun ones from me today, Stockroom And Stormy Leather: Together Again For The First Time and Elevator Girl Kyoko: Going Down!
Austin’s Intel (non)building
Since I’m a sick kitten and bed-bound, I’ve been teaching myself to edit and compress video on my laptop. I made a little project out of the first videos I shot with my new video camera (an older 2006 Sony DSC-M2 I ordered out of backstock) at SXSW this year. The (admittedly low quality) video…
