Everyone and their LOLcat is sending me links and photos, as the backlash to Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ weekend comment about saving people from porn is starting to sink in. Yes, he really said that. And yes, everyone is talking to me about it. They’re also saying it’s changing their attitudes about brand loyalty —…

“I want one.”
I mean a 3D printer, of course. Why else would Robert Downey Jr. be on a sex blog? That picture makes me dizzy. Also: are we all waiting for the Black Widow spinoff or what?
Craigslist: Opinions are like assholes; everybody’s got one
This past week, Craigslist has been under fire once again for its Adult Services section, with people getting all kinds of stiffies reporting about the money they’ve been making since they implemented new policies, where that money goes, and generally listening to Connecticut’s attorney general Richard Blumenthal about how he thinks the company is immoral,…
Who knew? Porn looks GREAT on Apple products!
Me perusing the fine work of PinkVisualPad. Don’t try this at home, kids. Apple products are not made for this. Void where prohibited, which is everywhere. Unless you’re like me and believe that if you can’t put porn on it, then you don’t own it.

Gimme substance, gimme more: SxSWi on spin cycle
It was the CNN article that finally set me off. I mean, nothing personal to the nice CNN photographers, writers and the guy in charge of CNN I chatted with while drinking beer in my pajamas at 4am in the Hilton lobby as people like Foursquare’s co-founders pretended to backstroke across the marble floor a…
Violet blue + SXSW = NSFW
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”. Basically, this post is both a warning flare and a starting gun: this blog is about to be somewhat hijacked for…
