metaphorge- the Archbishop of Balogna!!!

We'll get more photos up once we return from KOL Con V in Phoenix, but this video by darkmoon from the opening night of Arse Elektronika 2008 was too good to wait until then to post.

It is, amazingly, most likely work safe.

Most of my weekend is going to be spent at Monochrom's sex and technology conference Arse Elektronika in San Francisco.

tyrsalvia will be leading a panel discussion at 8:30 PM, How Porn & Tech Change Sexual Discourse. I'm also particularly looking forward to Mark Dery's talk.

I'm doing coverage for the conference for Scarleteen (the premier website focused on sexual education for teenagers), though it will be a few days until this specific coverage is available (to give me time to edit for a teenage audience).

I'll be covering it here as well; I already have a large number of photos online of last night's opening festivities available at FlickR (while none of these contain nudity, they might be NSFW, depending on where you work. Big thanks are due to foxgrrl and darkmoon for loaning me cameras for this event (my beloved Fujifilm 4900 is on its last legs and cannot hold a charge for very long)!

I'm too fried to summarize what's happened thus far now; Ariel Waldman has an excellent post about the earliest of last evening's activities.
