Ian Haig is an Australian geek pervert artist who makes wacky, futuristic sex toys from used tech stuff: discarded vacuum cleaners, food processors, and the like. Many of the passers-by who wandered into his booth at the recent Erotica LA expo assumed the devices were intended to be used. A scary prospect, given their appearance, but some people will get off to just about anything. Thankfully, Haig makes the devices for observation only. Think of it as socio-sexual nerdist commentary, with tongue planted firmly in cheek. And just be grateful nobody's trying to stick one of these up your nether-regions.

I shot a couple of photographs of Mr. Haig and his "Futurotica" tools at Erotica LA: one, two.

Link to Haig's Futurotica website with image gallery and background. Link to Fleshbot's coverage.

USATODAY.com - Sitting at the airport, you pull out a laptop or personal digital assistant and watch TV, delivered through Wi-Fi. Perhaps you'll grab an MP3 player instead, but rather than listen to downloaded tunes, you check out Internet radio. Or maybe you'll just make a call but thanks to the headset into which you are speaking, the person at the other end can make out your voice and not the blur of jet engines taking off at the same time.

Some of the highway support columns are painted with murals, but the most interesting column is plastered with newspaper obituaries of neighborhood residents. Photos are included in the essay."

Register: is Orkut TOS a deja vu of
controversial, discarded Microsoft TOS?
02/10/2004 02:51 AM
In the Register, an interesting piece on Orkut's terms of service, which danah previously criticized, and Cory described here as "craptacular":
Orkut's terms of service harbor a nasty payload -- "By submitting, posting or displaying any Materials on or through the orkut.com service, you automatically grant to us a worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicenseable, transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right to copy, distribute, create derivative works of, publicly perform and display such Materials." -- It's startlingly similar to the Microsoft Passport Terms which caused a storm of outrage two years ago, a reader points out. (...) Microsoft was forced to amend [its] terms five days after our first story, amidst threats of defections.
I don't imagine that the folks behind Orkut are evil people, and I wonder what their response is to the Reg article -- and to concerns voiced by present and former Orkut members. In a similar flap, users publicly lambasted phonecam-blog service Textamerica last December over a draconian TOS; to their credit, Textamerica modified it promptly.
