I’m late to blogging this, as I’m really quite ill with the flu (no insurance, ack), but it’s a popular one this week: my datamining of sex acts on Bay Area Craigslist Casual Encounters, results and spreadsheet. Thanks to my friend Kevin Burton for the real-time tracking link, and Jonathan Moore for stat math. Technical…
Year: 2007
Succumbing to the flu
Fell asleep with a fever; woke up with it. Still, I dragged Sean off the couch and Jonathan to my vlogshow shoot (hopped up on theraflu) with Irina (much fun); now, a few hours later I’m sweating and on deadline for two manuscript edits, due tomorrow. Thoughts: * No more Justin.tv please. Ever. * Boy,…
Scientific American: A love letter
I give linklove to Scientific American — especially their blog — quite often, but I think after today, I might consider making my feelings more formal. Basically, I read a really questionable piece about sex and gender in the NYT today (Pas de Deux of Sexuality Is Written in the Genes), Snip: (…) It is…
Flynt, conduct
Just turned in my edited piece to O Magazine, yay! In the process today, I got to meet and chat with Theresa Flynt (Larry Flynt’s daughter!) about female porn viewers, and got some solid numbers — she’s actually *really* cool. So awesome! Also — I got yer blogger code of conduct right here. Oh oh…

Happy birthday, Mom!

Videoblogging Week day 2
Quick: the tale of Alex (co-starring my cat Alex), before I head out the door! Embedded after the jump if you prefer.
The penis platter, ow
I mean, ew. (And no emails about my ‘ew’ as I happen to *love* penii. Just not ever, ever like this) Snip from the BBC: There are many thousands of Chinese restaurants around in the UK and everyone has their favourite dish, but only in China itself do chefs specialise in a range of slightly…
Videoblogging Week day 1
I am very late to the game with this — I like, totally realized it had almost passed me by, so I shot this video. It’s rather fitting that I’m starting day 1 on pretty much day 7. So, cocktail in one hand and bad porn in the other, here I go. One a day,…
Happy Friday night
