Net neutrality is a crucial thing, and many people are doing everything they can to spread awareness about this serious topic — keeping the internets deregulated is pretty much part of the survival of our species at this point as fas as I’m concerned. But some people are willing to give their “all” for net…

Gadget lust
Just wiped drool off my keyboard… 20G, comes in black — not cheap, not even out yet, but the in-depth review of the Asus Eee 900 is here. Want. Lust. Desire. Tool fetish. This could make me a super blogger! Sorry, Air.
NYC wuz delishes kthxbye!
Here’s a taste of the photoshoot I did last night here in NYC with Paulie And Pauline, destination: Nerve. View the set on Flickr (set is restricted; use this guest pass) or easy click and scope it on Fotki, no login required. I’m packing now after a great day with my Addams’ Family NYC and…
I *heart* NY
Image of pretzel-mania in Central Park this afternoon via my Helio Ocean; live video mid-photoshoot in Central park here. What an incredible trip I’m having. The rundown is a passionate linkgasm… Last night I went to the Laughing Squid NYC drinkup where I drank muchly with my dear, dear friends (well, family) Lori, Scott, Lady…
The Passion of the Fundamentalists
Image from Passion of A Goddess via Mormon Erotica (thanks Evil Signtist). On the Virgin America flight to NY I watched two great TED talks (here and here). And I was absolutely glued to the news as CNN rehashed the then-breaking news about the state of Texas keeping all the kids they yanked out of…
Too much to do
Last night was a doozie: I landed late at JFK, grabbed a taxi into the city and got to my friend’s apartment — only to be locked out after midnight, sitting in the hall after hauling my bags up five flights of stairs. I’d made plans to meet friends, and after 20 minutes of painful…
New York adventure ahead
I’m blogging from SFO right now, waiting for my Virgin flight to NYC — the connection here is glacial and not free and keeps dropping me (turning 15 minutes of connection into a $10 expense), which is crazy considering that we’re supposed to be the tech Mecca. I’m on my way to stay at a…
Ironic email of the day

Libby Lynn’s “Souvenirs”
Longtime online friend Libby Lynn just posted about, and uploaded to Flickr, the fruits of her latest obsessive art project “Souvenirs” and I thought it was so cool-looking I had to share it with you. In her post about the project she explains the process, saying, (…) What I loved about the original photograph [“The…
Today’s column: To cut or not to cut
In this week’s Chronicle column, I discuss the essay in Best Sex Writing 2008 “How Insensitive” by Paul Festa (read aloud recently at a local reading), and go into the subject of circumcision. It’s a very tricky subject to cover because people are so divided about it, (no pun!) and the comments are already a…
