x-ratedpatents.com

Yup, I love me some patents. Just wish I had the wherewithal to stop all this open source shit and actually get me a few, then ride out the rest of my creative years bleeding poor dildo start-ups dry. However, I'm a lazy bastard, so it's just easier to throw it all out there for free and let someone else make the money. I'm fine with fame.

So, to prove those someone elses actually exist, there's x-ratedpatents.com. This site tracks all the newest and latest in hoohahs and weewees and things that will now cost you a licensing fee to do with them. There's some neat, some odd, and some both. Needless to say, it's great for giving me ideas of things to build. Now I just need to execute on some of those... Someday.

Not to mention, this site fulfills my "line/explode diagram with many tiny callouts" fetish.

Sultry Services: Adult Copywriting Services

You know, there's probably a million of these, but not all of them link to me, and I hadn't really thought about this as a business model before, so they get the luxury of being an offtopic post on a sex tech blog. Sultry Services does Adult Website Copywriting.

No, not copyrighting. Copywriting.

As in, they write the ads for adult websites. Now, I'm sure anyone reading this will have the same thought as I did the first time I saw this... "WTF, I could totally do that shit!". Unfortunately, I then realized that I would probably end up sounding like Cheech's ever so famous monologue from Dusk 'til Dawn. Over, and over, and over. I can only think of so many words for pussy/cock/otherwise before I either start:

• repeating myself
• getting really esoteric and weird
• getting really, really stupid

So, to the adult copywriters of the world, my hat is off to you, for writing all those words that I don't even notice because they're situated above, below, and around porn.

Did you know we have message boards? Yeah, I kinda forgot too.

I shut down signups sometime last year due to massive spamming, and never did fix it. That is, until now. The Slashdong Boards have returned.

Hopefully they won't turn into a big pile of spam again, but I'm not keeping my hopes up. So go and post your little perverted heart out before I get sick of administrating them again.

Save yourself the trouble and wind in to 2:16.

Titris?

Titris?

TITRIS?!

(Not to be confused with Titler)

Update: Yup, Titris. And there's even a sequel.

Yup, it's that time again.

I'll be around the Game Developer's Conference (parties Tuesday-Thursday, conference Wednesday-Thursday). Look for me at the Sex In Games Roundtables (12:00pm Wednesday or 5:30pm Thursday) or around the expo, most likely at the Linden Lab booth.

Then it's off to SXSW Interactive for another year of Web 2.0 and Blogs and those other hip things. I'm on the Sex and Computational Technology panel at 5:30pm on Sunday, March 11th in Room 9AB. The lineup includes:

Amanda Williams - University of California at Irvine

Violet Blue - Blogger Open Source Sex

Johanna Brewer - University of California at Irvine

Kyle Machulis - Me!

Cory Silverberg - Author & Educator, Come As You Are & About.com

It should be chock full of awesome.

I'll also be hanging at the Linden Lab booth (notice a trend here?) in the Expo, and at pretty much every single party. Yes. All of them.
