Controlled Sensations Bondage Station

So, what do you get when you take...

• ET-312B Electrostim Unit
• Venus 2000
• Various Locking Mechanisms
• Various Sensory Deprivation Mechanisms
• LED Strobe Glasses
• Oh just go read the list yourself

Why, the Controlled Sensations Computer Controlled Bondage Station, of course!

This thing is what I'd do if I had money and time and an attention span and then some more money. It's fucking awesome, and it's open source! There's pictures of the setup, and the Python Source Code that runs the setup is available! There's also message boards to talk directly to the creator through.

I want one.

Rubbot: Mmmmm, donuts

This is the Rubbot.

It's apparently a new sex toy for men currently in development by Design Collective in San Francisco. I hadn't heard of it before tonight (thank you very much Technorati search on Teledildonics, but it seems to have been in development for a while, and the webpage is great! There's explanations of the basic mechanical ideas behind the toy, as well the the aesthetic design factors. So what's it do?

It uses what they're calling The Inch Worm Concept to roll itself up and down your penis. That's gonna be a very, very interesting mechanism.

Right now, they're looking for all sorts of ideas. Would you use it? What would you have control it? Gather up those ideas and head to their blog! I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this and will of course update Slashdong more as I find out.

Thanks to Donald Bell and C|Net for making this video. It goes along with the CNet article about the moaning lisa, with Matt Ganucheau explaining the technology behind the installation, and also features a portion with me pimping the iBuzz 'cause it was the only audio toy I had on hand (SoftLabs, where art thou?) and it was for an audio blog. (Dear Lovehoney: Please send the truckloads of cash now.)

Presentation of the Moaning Lisa project by Matt Ganucheau at Arse Elektronika 2007

Arse Elektronika. 2 days and counting. Go. You must. It will be more awesome than is possible to comprehend.

Here's some pictures from the construction of Matt Ganucheau's Moaning Lisa project for Arse Elektronika.

If you'll excuse me now, I must return to the busiest week of my life. :)
