TeraDyne’s Bouncy Padded Room: Collars

TeraDyne’s Bouncy Padded Room: Collars:

TeraDyne, although a fur and not precisely involved in the D/s circles that, say, I am, is quite right. This issue isn’t limited to the furs, however… Those of us who are simply D/s know the issue, and have sighed at or argued with Vanilla-folk telling us it’s “tasteless” or “overtly sexual” or something along those lines.

Bottom line, in my opinion, is, quite simply, this should not be an issue, we have the right to self-expression. Then again, I hold the opinion that people ought to have no issues with my leading My girl around on a leash..

PSN Issues

This is old news. But it shouldn’t still be news.

As you may know, the Playstation Network is down. It has been down for days.

WriteSpace News

Just a few short points concerning my WriteSpace blog.

One — a new story called ‘The Cold Dark’ is in the works.

Two — I am now actually using beta readers. If you want to beta read my fiction work, get in touch. The comments here are one option, but I will need a valid email or other contact. Other options are @MaestroDMB, my twitter account, and my email account.

Tweetie 2 Review

Twitter 2, or Tweetie 2, has been here for a while now. And, what’s more, it’s just as fantastic as we’ve come to expect from @lorenb.

The UI has undergone something of an overhaul, there is a new icon and a new name, Twitter for Mac, as well as a nice price point: free.

“Steve Jobs and the Portal to the Invisible” [Esquire]

Steve Jobs and the Portal to the Invisible – Tom Junod Esquire Profile of Steve Jobs – Esquire: “”

This is an interesting profile of Steve Jobs that Esquire posted. I learned a few things I had certainly not known before reading it.

‘CarpalMate’ Product Review

Initial thoughts:

I received the CarpalMate today. It’s very minimalistic, much less confining than most wrist braces. This leads me to doubt it’s effectiveness.

It is comfortable but I am very unsure that it will provide the kind of support that a severe CTS sufferer, like myself, requires. As I type this, and as I worked on Lunar Blade Radio projects this morning, I was wearing it on my right hand.

“French boy ‘sets himself alight at school in Marseille’” [BBC Repost]

From the BBC news site, a story about a French kid setting himself on fire.

What’s the betting this poor kid is gay or otherwise not heteronormative?

“Ohio Supreme Court Denies Law License for Grad with $170,000 in Student Loans” [ABC NEWS Repost]

Seriously bothersome post over at ABC News about an Ohio law school grad who’s been denied his  license to practice law (his best chance to repay his debt) because he has major debt.

Is this only scary for me, because I want to go into law, or is this scary on the face of it in a more general sense?

Read the story here.

“Incarceration up, Education down: American’s Cannibalistic Profiteering” from NJP

Very good post over at News Junkie Post. I suggest you go read it, this is the link.

Thoughts on Music

This has been on my mind as of late. Through the past few days, I’ve been listening to a lot of Eminem/Dr. Dre/other rap — and I’ve been wondering. What the fuck is the problem with this shit for so many people? Is it the obscenity? Wal-Mart has clean versions, god dammit.

Good music is good music, which is irrelevant of genre. That’s how you know someone who really likes music — they talk about bands they love, as opposed to genres they won’t give a chance or a listen to.
