If you’re a longtime reader, you know that it’s the time of year where I fly to Austin, Texas and attend SXSW (interactive), the tech/internet convention that’s referred to as “spring break for geeks”.

Wednesday nibbles

Men, objectified: The men of porn (blog)
Image by eMCi photo. It was my discovery of the blog Men In Porn that reminded me we haven’t been objectifying men enough around here, and I mean the in an entirely good way. You know I’m a big fan of Guys With iPhones (in fact, it gets overused on other blogs so I don’t…

Porn is Actually Good for You: A Happy, Gratuitous Post
I’m feeling disgusted by the seriously slanted anti-porn feature being run in the Washington Post this sunday.

STD testing in the private sector
from: www.stdtestexpress.com by clp.ly In what my friend The Sexademic calls “an interesting move for the private sector” we now have STD Test Express, a fully private STD testing website.
