Click through to read the rest, you will not regret it. After spending most of my day editing translated transcripts (English to Viennese to English ::sigh) from a talk I gave last year on “technology and the erotic” for an international sex and technology conference, it’s appropriate that JT simultaneously sent me xkcd’s Android Girlfriend…

It’s a nice day for a… Space wedding
In case you missed it on the Telegraph, Space or a couple other media outlets, a very cute and nerdy space-obsessed New York based couple are set to have the first-ever wedding in zero gravity. Of course, they’re blogging the whole experience as they go along, and the couple is having custom-made couture for the…
Media futurism: Rip yourself off
I know this dude who made this film once called Art School Sluts and it was like a really successful big deal that changed porn filmmaking. Now when he makes new films, we trade and laugh at torrent links of his films before they are released. So we decided the new hot is learning to…
New menu, same dishes: The new language of Craigslist’s Erotic Services
The official changes and legal wrangling originally reported here, with updates; now we have the brand new funky face of Craigslist’s (now discontinued) Erotic Services section. More creative, less imagery, and looks a lot less safe. Snip: Craigslist may have officially shut down its Erotic Services section in favor of a less prostitution-friendly “Adult” area,…
For women seeking 7 or better… Really.
Image via autonoie. A friend sent me this for a OMGLOL until we both realized it’s for real. 7 Or Better (7orbetter.com) is (allegedly) for women seeking men whose cocks are seven inches or longer. But thay say that they’re *not a sex site* — yeah. Of course my friend and I thought to register…
Today’s big news: Craigslist ‘erotic services’ compromise, changes ahead
It’s interesting to read all the news stories about what happened with Craigslist’s ‘Erotic Services’ category today; the overwhelming message is that CL “caved” to pressure to shut down its category altogether. Whether this is an accurate flavor of the story or not, CL did indeed decide to close that pay-for-play section of its websites…
The Craigslist Experiment: FAILED
Self-portrait. “Don’t worry about lawsuits. They won’t happen.” — Jason Fortuny, October, 2006 Trolls do indeed go down — and they’re just going to start going down harder and harder, mark my words. Jason Fortuny has finally been busted, slapped, and sued. On September 9, 2006 I reported here in full, with images about The…
So much neverending ado about Craiglsist’s “Erotic Services”
Beautiful image by FML Photography. But I’m happy to say that Craig Newmark is keeping it *realisitic*. Snip: The founder of Craigslist, Craig Newmark, announced that he has no plans to close down the “erotic services” section of Craiglist. With the high profile murder of Julissa Brisman and the media storm that has surfaced with…
I’ll beta the sex chat room test of the EPOC Neuroheadset
Broken Robot Girl by Tamar Levine and Rob Sheridan. The EPOC Neuroheadset isn’t meant for sex chat rooms, and I’m sure the company wants nothing to do with sexual applications for their product. I’m sure. No one would want that. Oh no. But the first commercially available EEG neuroheadset is just *primed* for possibilities: A…
New GETV episode: I interview Mayor Gavin Newsom
This was fun. Here’s the GETV post; here’s the SF Appeal post with a bit of a snarkbite at the end, which I love. I also wrote up the seminar Mayor Newsom (twitter) gave at Long Now, which you can read about here. One of the things I loved was that when he turned to…
