Thank fucking GOD for Vimeo. No more stupid 10 minute clips. Now I've got the whole presentation in one go. 59 minutes.

Of course, it's also up on YouTube, in 8 parts, divided by topic.

• Part 1: Intro
• Part 2: Hardware Types
• Part 3: Audio and Teledildonic Control Interfaces
• Part 4: End User Programmable and Video Synchronization Interfaces
• Part 5: Video Game and "Other" Interfaces
• Part 6: Why DIY and Why We Should Care
• Part 7: The Future of Sex Tech
• Part 8: Research Example: Microtransaction Interfaces

Honestly, until editing it, I didn't realize how ridiculously dense this presentation is. I basically manage to braindump almost everything I've done in 2 years into about an hour of nothing but pure factage and a lot of cursing and silly images. Just proves that I should really work on filling out Opendildonics more so the world will still have all of this if I die in a horrible dildo related accident.

Oh yeah. Merry Christmas.

Well, I've been busy shuffling Nonpolynomial Labs around (read: Moving my workbench to a different room in the house), so thank god someone else has been keeping up the sex toy research. The Rubbot Guys just pulled a prototype out of their 3D printer (note: If you want to get qDot a christmas present, a 3D printer would be much appreciated), and set it against the all American phallic symbol that is the beer bottle. Add a rather confused puppy, and you've got a video just waiting for CuteOverload.

Good times.

Lie Back and Think of English Baseball: S.O.C.D Project

Square dildos. Unless you're a shapey, it's probably not the hottest sexual interface out there. Even so, it's your link to a good time through mosaicked jubbies in the S.O.C.D. Project.

Grab onto the square latex extension, and the metal plates on it pick up your "arousal level". The more aroused you become, the more pixelated and noisy the porn playing on the monitor in front of you gets. Therefore, if you want crisp, clear Max Hardcore, you have to do everything you can not to actually get turned on by it, or at least to try and fool the sensors. Think of it like trying to fool a lie detector session where all questions relate to hardons.

A work by Fiona Raby, Anthony Dunne and Michael Anastassiades (Electronics: Erik Kearney, software: David Muth.). Currently part of Wouldn't it be nice, an exhibition, curated by Katya Garcia-Anton and Emily King, which addresses the application of wishful thinking in art and design today. You can visit the show until December 16 at the Centre d'Art Contemporain in Geneva, then at the Museum fur Gestaltung in Zurich.

Thanks to We Make Money Not Art and sexblo.gs, both blogs of awesomeness, for pointing this out.

Dildo and Screwdriver Set. Both at the same time.

Yeah, everything in the above image comes in the same god damn package. I shit you not.

• Dildo with vibrator and 12v car adapter
• 2 screwdrivers
• Tire pressure gauge
• Mini flashlight

Throw a Leatherman or something similar in with this, and you've got yourself a handy set of tools for on the go. I certainly know I'd buy more tools if they came with... tools.
