Clay Shirky on Love, Internet Style (via azspot)
I told Clay’s Shinto anecdote in a talk at the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality. The gist is, there’s a lot we do online in community as an act of love. It’s mostly invisible, but we do it. It’s squishy to talk about, but we do it anyway.

(And we’re also enjoying the outcome of our first argument over a programming language. Of course something open source won — is there any other choice? We’ll introduce our first programmer in just a bit.)

“ One-fifth of teenagers surveyed have sent or posted nude or seminude pictures or videos of themselves, usually to a boyfriend or girlfriend, and almost a third have received such images, according to “Sex and Tech,” a new study by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unwanted Pregnancy and CosmoGirl.com.

“ Chart-like diagrams such as bar, plot, line diagrams and spider charts, graph-based diagrams including line, matrix, process flow, and molecular diagrams to extremely complex three-dimensional diagrams are employed beyond their classical fields of use. In Gestalten.tv’s latest video podcast the co-editor Nicolas Bourquin and book designer Thibaud Tissot reveal more about the concept, clues and various chapters of our newly released book Data Flow: Visualising Information in Graphic Design.

“ She said nothing then, her lovely mouth otherwise engaged, until he came, all over her face. She had gagged, and moved him outside her lips, rubbing his spurting glans across her cheeks and chin. God, she was antique, but here they were. Her face gleamed with his jism in the spotty light of the motel room, there on the far end of East Beach, within sound of the sea.
Don’t worry how well you can tell your sex stories. John Updike writes bad sex scenes every year. •

“ Si chiamerà Boffery e sarà il primo social network a permettere la mappatura dello storico del sesso degli utenti. (It called Boffery and will be the first social network to enable mapping of the historic sex of users.) Insomma una sorta di Facebook all’interno del quale le connessioni tra gli utenti non sono create in base al rapporto di amicizia ma a seconda dei rapporti sessuali avuti. (So a sort of Facebook in which the connections between users are not created according to the ratio of friendship but as had sexual relations.)
