4 Travel Tips I Learned From My $345.60 Mistake
Where Have All the Blowjobs Gone? Why Esquire Is Wrong
In the latest issue of Esquire, writer Goeff Dwyer frets that "[t]he blowjob has fallen on hard times." What he really means is that the female-delivered not-so-enthusiastic average quality male-received blowjob is on the wane, but even sticking to heterosexuality, Dwyer simply doesn't know where to… Read full post »
My iPhone Photos (all 5,000 of Them), Myself
I'm in the process of transferring over 5,000 photos from my iPhone, almost all the photos I've taken since I bought this phone in November of 2010, onto my laptop, and I have to admit that it's very challenging to click the little trash can icon in the bottom right of… Read full post »
From around 11 p.m. Saturday night until 10 a.m. Monday morning, I slept approximately 30 hours. The numbers are a bit fuzzy, but I do know I woke up at around 4 on Sunday afternoon, hazily aware that it was late, but not that late. I know that I roused myself… Read full post »

When I first started having sex with men at age 17, I assumed I'd always use condoms with guys, unless I was in a monogamous relationship or trying to get pregnant. That assumption stayed true through most of my twenties, but once I turned 30 I found myself involved with a… Read full post »
Why I Turned Down $3,000 To Be on a Reality TV Show
In August, I wrote about hoarding in a personal essay for Salon's Mortifying Disclosures section. I'd been debating between cyberstalking and hoarding as my most mortifying disclosures, and went with what I considered the mosre unusual and the more treacherous for me. I received mostly positive feedb… Read full post »
On Seeing The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs again
photo by Robert Cheng/CNET
I saw this sign posted in a CNET News live blog about the new iPhone, and I couldn't help but think that 34 hours is the same amount of hours a worker at Foxconn worked in a row before dying, as discussed by Mike… Read full post »
