BBC NEWS | Technology | US pupils to dance themselves fit
Nice article about a school offering Dance Dance Revolution to kids as a PE option.
But this graf cracked me up:

Doesn’t that [...]

jedi is coughing and spitting up and now vomiting so we have to go back to the vet again and this time get shots. he’ll be okay but this is traumatic on both of us — he coughs so deeply, with barely a moment’s rest between attacks, and now he’s probably dehydrated despite his drinking [...]

I accidentally decided it was okay for Grandpa to read my book.
Even though I signed it “read at your own risk,” I’m now wondering if I’ve just overshared.
It’s not that I’m ashamed of anything I wrote. Only that the people who changed your diapers and took you to ride streetcars and let you order [...]

This article talks about theater chains refusing to show “Bubble” because the producer is releasing it in all formats at once — DVD, cable, theater, etc.
CBC Arts: U.S. cinemas back out of Soderbergh’s ‘Bubble’
Soderbergh’s feeling is that all movies are available right away anyway, through piracy, and that this way he can control the release. [...]

I’m downloading two Chieftans albums from iTunes, and I maximized the artwork for Live from Dublin: A Tribute to Derek Bell. It’s just five Irish gentlemen posed outdoors but suddenly I had a tear in my eye and a catch in my throat. They look so Irish and it suddenly made me think of Grandma, [...]

For three days now I’ve felt sleepy. Debilitatingly sleepy. Couldn’t put words together. Couldn’t focus on my (part-time, freelance) day job.
But I had to. Don’t have the luxury of days off, not with a release deadline staring us in the face.
Finally it hit me: my body is peacefully negotiating a settlement with a cold [...]

Several Sex Drive readers emailed me to say “get pictures with porn stars at AEE” — so I did. I haven’t the time, the patience or the interest to learn how to retouch photos. I’ve resized these to make them fit but otherwise, they’re complete with shine, redness, etc. Note how flawless the porn stars [...]

Better Unfaithful Than Fat
ROME (Reuters) – Most Italians feel more guilty about over-eating than they do about cheating on their partners, a survey has found, suggesting that people in Casanova’s native land care more about staying slim than staying faithful.

Nice drive home from Las Vegas today. I indulged in a risky behavior and yakked on the phone just about the whole way. Of course, it’s a headset. But it’s still stupid and dangerous and we all know it and yet sometimes, we do it anyway.
Every year, I meet a ton of people and reconnect [...]

It’s not possible for one writer and one photographer to “cover” three trade shows in four days. It’s exhausting — I’m not sure why, but it is. We haven’t even stayed up late at parties or anything, although we have been talking until 12:30 or 1:00 a.m. about various sex-tech angles on some of the [...]

I never want to go another week without dancing. After Prof. Farnsworth and Wendy from the Sex Drive forum left — we met up for dinner and a beer, and I made them meet me at the Toby Keith I *heart* This Bar — so after they left, I couldn’t help it, I went forward [...]

I will post a recap of the blog/podcast panel, as well as everything I forgot to say. I think the panel got off track and didn’t answer the main question, the main info people were there for: blogs and podcasts as revenue-generating, or at least worth the ROI, in adult entertainment.
It’s going to take [...]

I remember reading about this, too late to submit a secret:
PostSecret
It’s an art project where people sent in their deepest secrets, anonymously, written on homemade postcards. Taken as a collection, themes arise — sex, silence, shame — and I’m finding it very powerful.
You can buy the book if you can’t make it to [...]
