As you've probably noticed, posts here have been rather infrequent and
randomly themed lately. There's a few reasons behind that, and while I
don't usually get into my personal life on here, it's only fair to let
people know what's up. Not that any of it is bad.
So, first off: I'm movin'. Time to rise up out of Oklahoma, land of
fucked up video game laws and
religious pandering on state grounds. I'm headed off to San
Francisco, land of heathens, harlots, and general sinnyness, to work
for Linden Lab, makers of Second Life. That is, until god
decides to bitchslap the faultline and we all fall off into the ocean.
Unfortunately, the timing of the move means I will not be able to
attend the Sex in Video Games Conference, coming up in a little
over 2 weeks. With the absolutely amazing list of people on the
panels, it really sucks to have to miss this. So, even though I'm not
going to be there, everyone reading this should totally sign up and
go.
As for Slashdong, well, there's a few things I'm planning on doing.
First off, I'm adding a new section, on DIY/Non-Traditional build
projects going outside of our usual technology scope. I'd really like
Slashdong to be about all sorts of open projects, not just the crazy
electronics stuff I come up with. Many of the fetish scenes have
relied on DIY for years ("Home Depot: The Kinkiest Store On the
Planet"), and with the current DIY resurgence, I figure I might as
well get the hits while I can put together a community of builders,
tinkerers, inventors, and others instead of just engineers.
Also, I've felt that my tutorials, while educational and informative
as they currently are (as well as damn funny. Probably more damn funny
than anything else, actually), have suffered from a lack of
crossreferencing and updating capabilities.
Therefore, it's time for the obvious solution:
The Slashdong Wiki. This solves multiple problems I've been
facing, including:
- Easy to update information
- User/Community Created Content
- Awkward content layout when done in article form
- Other stuff
If you'd like to be a contributor to the Wiki, please email me at the
tips at slashdong address. There's a lot of information to add, and
I'm gonna do what I can when I can, but with this upcoming move, time
will be fleeting until like, September.
Ugh. I know this is going to end well, but the end is a long, long way
off.
