At Vloggercon 06 I met Bre Pettis, and over Vcon party drinks I suggested a tour of SRL while he was in town. He asked if he could film it for Make, and we never allow that — but Mark trusted me, and we did the first-ever video tour of SRL. Read the whole post…

Crashed Bjork’s super sekrit DJ night at The Stud (sound alert) tonight with some friends. I’d just planned on seeing friends and some low-key, much-needed go-go dancing — a very cool and surprising night. More pics (and maybe video) to come. Update: Haha, my camera’s video function needs a built-in breathalyzer. But I got a…

Here’s a great quote from my pal Mark‘s column today: “But through it all, there seems to exist this one general rule: If you have that much to hide, if you are living some sort of secret and embarrassing and family-endangering double life, if you are constantly burying images and hiding data or altering your…

I found myself wandering into Radio Smack today looking for something to do with my hands. No one got lucky, but I did decide to combine my need for making something with my urge for depression-fueled retail therapy. Strangely, lipgloss, fetish shoes and new panties just would not do.

In case you missed it, Eddie posted the segment I told you about a couple posts back, where I interviewed the man making prototypes of an exoskeleton to aid motion and mobility for people with spinal cord injuries. Read the Boing Boing RoboGames wrapup post here; visit the GETV post here.

Doing okay, but in a daze. I keep finding myself just staring at stuff. I’m now at the point where I need to do things, like things with my hands, but can’t concentrate yet to write, nor do I feel like I’d be safe to work at SRL. It’s okay; I have my machine assignment…

i just found out one of my oldest and dearest friends (and one of my first female lovers) just killed herself. oh god. update: okay, talking to friends I haven’t spoken with in years and making plans for friday’s memorial. not crying and shaking so much anymore; going out to see the SFSI crew later…

Friend Scott Beale took terrific action photos yesterday, as always — including this favorite (above) and this moment of Eddie and I showing our vloggy feelings for old media. I’ll do the rest of my video updates to this post at Metblogs and visit my album for final photo updates later tonight. Lots of you…
