21st Century Sex class. What my kids are getting.

Laughing Squid featured this site the other day, and so happy I am they did! This is what we need! Sex education that isn’t boring as hell. “Sex Edutainment” if you will, although they claim it’s not real “sex education” in the traditional sense, and that “the formal education [will be left] to classrooms and textbooks.” It’s a shame really, as all those oh-so-important statistics will still be falling on napping ears int he classroom…

The girls over at the Midwest Teen Sex Show have struck gold, and I hope they keep going. Click below for their latest episode, and surf on over if you want more. Which you will.

When you think about it, it sure bests the alternative

So the bed’s made…

Guess that means its official. I’m an RA!

I have been on campus for almost two weeks now, and I was sleeping on the futon up until last night. Why, I’m not sure. At first it was because I wasn’t sure I liked the way the room was set up. Then it was because I didn’t want to raise the bed (too lazy) by myself (too lazy to get help). Then, conveniently, once it was raised and everything was ready, I found that my sheets smelt like… well, crap, and I needed to get detergent, a laundry card, etc… and wash them. And now it’s done, and school is in session.

Well, not yet. The freshmen haven’t even arrived yet, not to mention I am still Jen-less, but for me, the ball is rolling. Fun fun.

So summer didn’t go exactly as planned, on the bloging front anyway. Personally this was one of the better summers I have had. Continue reading ‘So the bed’s made…’

Update

I have just updated my review of embedded media solutions of blogs. Now it includes the formidable “multi-headed hydra of” iMeem. Check it out.

del.icio.us

I’ve been del.icio.us…ed… I recently signed up for a MyBlogLog account, and I never knew how helpful it would be. It just informed me that I got my first del.icio.us bookmark yesterday, by Dan Kantor. I do not know Dan, but clicking around leads me to believe he has something to do with the Streampad Widget, which I reviewed here. Rock on.

Embedding Music in your Blog…

You may have noticed -no steam shovel- has a bit of a sound-track now. Not just that same damn song, over and over. Some variety…

It took some time, but my quest for embedded blog music has come to an end with FineTune. Check the MORE link for more on the topic, and why I chose them over the competition…

For a good long while I have been looking in to embedded music for blogs to no real avail… I found a good number of embedded solutions, but none seemed to work the way I wanted them to.

Below you will find a few of our options, not really in any order, as well as a description and the pros and cons of each. As you may know, I hate paying for things, so all of these are free, and most importantly, legal. I believe I am about done adding content to this, so there shouldn’t be any more updates unless anyone has anything I should add to the subject.

In this post I will take a look at divShare, FineTune, last.fm, Radio.Blog.Club, Music Video Base, Sonific, the Streampad Widget and the Traditional Embed method for adding music to your blog…

[Note: Now updated with iMeem!]

Maven Winery, New Zealand

By pure chance I have had the pleasure of meeting a one Bethlene Jobin, from New Zealand. No real significance, no… But she does work as the Marketing & Export Executive for this fantastic winery in said country, and I think you owe it to yourself to check it out. Introducing…
