Sex Patents: Sexual Steampunk

Sex Patents: Sexual Steampunk 07/02/2004 08:20 AM

As longs as there are nubbed protuberances on vibrating household items, men and women will attempt to copulate with them. Some keen inventors, addressing our eternal desire for robot coitus, but also not afraid to make a buck, have protected their devices via the ironclad machinations of the U.S. Patent Office. And really, thank god for that, because if the inventor of the "Anal Orgasm Monitor" never got the full credit he or she deserved, then really, who do we expect our children to be inspired by these days? Astronauts? Those guys won't even film sex in space for us, the prudes.

Soul sister site Fleshbot -- which as you may be able to discern is not exactly safe for work, or those who fear their own bodies' fluids and spasms -- highlights some of the greatest Sex Patents of our time.

Right-Leaning Media Barons Black Out
ABC's Airing of War Dead 04/30/2004 12:07 PM

The Sinclair Broadcast Group has joined the broadcasting Hall of Cowardice with its craven decision to prevent its customers from seeing tonight's Nightline broadcast, on which anchor Ted Koppel will read the names and show pictures of the American service men and women killed in the current Iraq War. On Sinclair's home page today is a statement about the company's reason for this move: a claim that the Nightline show is a purely political act. Let's assume for a minute that this is true, and that -- as the statement implies -- the motive is to cast a bad light on the war -- even though Sinclair's statement doesn't begin to make such a case. Does this mean Sinclair will start blacking out the flagrantly pro-administration Fox News programming? You will not be even slightly surprised to know that the various Smiths who run this company are HUGE donors to George W. Bush and the Republican Party, according to the always-valuable Open Secrets database of political influence-peddling. See this and this, in particular. Who's being political?

Dead pixels instead of dead trees

Dead pixels instead of dead trees 12/22/2004 01:49 AM

I love books, I love browsing stacks, I love libraries, I love Powell's in Portland, I like collecting books, I always have a stack nearby to read, I love looking through picture books, and I love books even though I didn't really become much of a reader until the end of my college years (I never read for fun until then). Plunging into the Internet fed my book addiction further, as I had to read dozens of computer classics to get up to speed and stay ahead of the curve. Every computer desk I've had until recently was flanked by bookshelves loaded with titles.

Earlier this year, I remember hearing Cory Doctorow give a talk about how ebooks were going to rule the world and folks would abandon the printed page for the laptop screen. I thought it was a good talk, but I felt the thesis was a bit ahead of its time. There's really no comparison between curling up with a book and a blanket in front of a fireplace, versus trying to read thousands of words on a screen.

Last weekend I was doing some house cleaning and I kept finding stacks of books. A stack next to the reading chairs. A stack on the coffee table. A stack beside my bed. All these stacks contained books I bought in 2004, but never read. Some, I got halfway through, but even more I got maybe ten pages in. A few I never even cracked open.

When I think back to the last three books I enjoyed, they were all heard on my iPod, while on a road trip. I can't recall the last book I finished in my hands.

I'm going to take a holiday trip soon to a fairly remote location where there's not much to do besides read. I'm going to sit and read the only book I've wanted to read this year, and I have a feeling it might just be one of the last dead tree books I read for a long time.

As much as I didn't agree with Cory back during his E-tech talk, I'm finally realizing it's coming true in my own life. I read thousands of words everyday on my monitors and I rarely take time to read anything on the printed page, and there's no sign of reversal on that trend. The scariest thing for the bookfan inside me is that I don't think it's bad thing, either.

Long live the ebook. Long live the audiobook. So long, dead trees.
