I'm so excited about Best Women's Erotica 2010 (also: UK) that I just can't resist reading one of my favorite stories from the collection: the Apple Genius Bar tryst. In this episode I read Emerald's story Shift Change where a woman goes in for MacBook Pro repair and gets better service than anyone could imagine. It's amazing that those Geniuses can do, indeed. * * * * * * * Violet Blue: tinynibbles.com More audio + ebooks: DigitaPub.com Click here to launch iTunes: Open Source Sex Thank you Libsyn.com.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom was a recent guest speaker at the Long Now Foundation's SALT (Seminars About Long-term Thinking) monthly speaker series. Typically, SALT hosts big thinker uber geeks like Jimmy Wales, Clay Shirky and Neal Stephenson. San Francisco being the geek capital of the world, it's no surprise that Newsom knows how to Twitter around on his iPhone and is savvy in the ways of the networked world. Violet Blue grabs the mayor for a few questions covering timely geek topics like tidal and wave energy systems, keeping up with constituents using Twitter and Facebook as well as YouTube distribution for his State of the City address.

What do bakers of cupcakes and geek unconferences have in common? A lot it turns out. Both spawn high amounts of sugary fueled goodness, encourage collaboration for common tasty goals and openly share the processes to reach them. CupcakeCamp, modeled after BarCamp, encourages campers to make, bake or just eat cupcakes. Tastings are self organized into time slots, thrown up on a wiki and judged for taste, style and originality. In this episode, Violet Blue -- GETV's roving baked good's correspondent -- takes you deep into the yeasty wide world of cupcakes and CupcakeCamp, created by none-other than lovely Internet Femme Fatales Ariel Waldman, Lynn Poshy, Cindy Li, and Marianne Masculino. If you think cup cakes are just slutty muffins, get ready to have your paradigm shifted. You'll then know not to miss the next CupcakeCamp coming up on December 7th at the Satisfactory in San Francisco.

I got to go to a private party at kink.com (NSFW) last night -- the launch party for their new gay bondage site boundgods.com (NSFW). the performances were great! no nudity, but adults only, please :)

They made me! I love seeing the historical progression of GETV cameras over the years within a 5-minute span...

this is the companion video to my Chronicle column Everything's Better With Leather; here I talk about visiting Madame S and Mr. S, San Francisco's premiere fetish and BDSM makers and sellers. in this video I talk about and show many items, and get locked in an isolation cell. fun!as a footnote, iMovie HD corrupted half my video, quit functioning except for basic editing and added all kinds of editing/sound glitches. I inserted some stills to replace the corrupt video and hope it's okay -- this took hours longer than it should have and was frustrating enough to make me want to take a little break from video, bleh!

I got my mail today.

I got a tour of stockroom.com (really NSFW) friday afternoon, and convinced Chris Kalev, their purchasing manager, to demonstrate an electrified single-tail whip (violet wand powered) for me. video is totally SFW.
