This morning my inbox greeted me with emails (thank you!) linking to the Yahoo news article “Kids’ Ability To Access iPod Porn Raises Concerns“, where my podcast Open Source Sex is held up as an example of a “dirty download”, “pornography webcast” (only if it’s done right, dear reader). Apparently I’ve been somewhat targeted by…

Macgasm
If I was a smoker, I’d have a cigarette right now. Macworld was exciting: I saw the new 1″ PowerMacPro laptops, the uber-fast iMacs (both with built-in iSight). But aside from all the glitz, bling, booths that wouldn’t let me take photos, pseudo-booth–babes, cars that let you watch your iPod video in the headrest monitors…
Interviewing Mr. Thrillhammer
The third installment of my Geek Entertainment TV interviews is up and running: here, I’ve taken the mic and subjected Allen Stein, creator of The Thrillhammer to a short but brutal interview (his machine was the one I ran for my teledildonics lecture and demonstration for Dorkbot). Teledildonicist Allen Stein nails it with his Thrillhammer…
MIA from iTunes
I’m getting a lot of emails like this tonight: “Hi Violet, I really enjoyed your “quickie” and when I saw you also had OSS26 I went to itunes but could not find it there. (…) I tried to search on “sex” and “open source” in the itunes podcasts but could not find ANY of your…
GETV interview 2 and schwag
Remember when I went to that Sex Machines book release slideshow and was interviewed about Tribe.net and 2257? Well, after that I was asked to become a GETV guest correspondant, and strangely I accepted, and then I went on to do three interviews. The first of those three are up — the one where I…
Geek Entertainment TV interview
Last night’s Sex Machines show was excellent! BUT, my SRL friend Eddie showed up with Irina Slutsky, who cornered me and said “Hi, I’m Irina Slutsky. Can we interview you for Geek Entertainment Television and then can you take over as a guest correspondant and do interviews — I feel sick and need to go…
Sex machines invade SF
If you’re in San Francisco tonight, please do check out my pal Timothy Archibald‘s Sex Machines: Photographs and Interviews slideshow and talk at Modern Times Bookstore. Timothy wrote an amazing piece about his sex machine travels and experiences all over America in my book Best Sex Writing 2005, and we’re both familiar with 888 Valencia,…
Sex Machines, Some by Timothy Archibald
By the hairy balls of Jesus, I am done with my books. While I stare at my navel, water my plants, wash my panties and chase my kitten around for a few minutes, check out Xeni’s awesome article on Timothy Archibald’s new book, Sex Machines. I had the chance to meet Timothy for the first…
Still In iTunes
… But I’m not sure why most people can find me, while a few others can’t. Truth be told, it’s all out of my hands anyway, though I have to say I seriously doubt foul play, even though I overreacted in my last post; I am after all, an Apple fetishist and now have it…
Podcast Yanked From iTunes, Again (Not)
As if things weren’t difficult enough for me right now… A listener/reader has let me know that my podcast is no longer listed in iTunes; the direct link to my iTunes page works, but search for my name, my podcast, or sex, and Open Source Sex is gone. I wonder who else they’ve done this…
