And in celebration I present to you the best dance song ever from ROMANIA of all places: The “Numa Numa Song” by Ozone!
Expect some really cool shit from the blog in the next few days, including a MAJOR announcement.
Orgasmatron!
Electrodes to the rescue once again!
Will this work if you’re teh paralyzed? That has yet to be seen.
But to sum up: The “ORGASMATRON” (best name evah! and no, it’s not a pervo superhero), aka officially, the Slightest Touch, is this wacky electrode device that you strap onto your legs that purportedly gets women to a pre-orgasmic state. Oooooh?!

Oh Noes! “China Girl” Hath Broke!
You know David Bowie is crying in a corner somewhere about this.
And yes, I realize I may be a bit late in posting this, but hell, it needed to be blogged about anyways. So listen to this SHIT:
“Liu Yan, who was part of the Silk Road dance (of the Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremonies), fell more than three metres from a piece of scenery, landing on her head and back after a miscalculation by other performers who were supposed to catch her on a moving platform.”
And the shitty part? Well, the first part being the gov’t lied and said she just broke her leg, but damn:
“Sources inside the stadium told The Telegraph that Liu was left lying in agony on the set for more than 50 minutes before she was attended by paramedics because of the strict security cordon which had been thrown around the rehearsals.”
But hey, at least Zhang Yimou, the director of the entire opening ceremonies (the same guy who wanted 16,000 shirts to be yellow instead of blue two days before the ceremony, came to visit her in the hospital). “You paid such a great price for the Olympic Games and for our country. This made me very, very heart-broken. We are very grateful to you, and so is our country.”
She’s now a T11 para. One can only help wonder what kind of life, in any, lies ahead for Yan in the years ahead. It’s not like China is all over equal-treatment of people with disabilities. Poor thing.

Wonka Recut
Check out this hysterical re-edit of the ’70s “Willy Wonka” film, by putting the muddled drug references in the movie front and center.
Cherry Blossom
Here’s my new favorite perfume!
My new scent – Cherry Blossom – is from Bath and Body Works, and it’s the perfect combination of both floral AND fruity notes (with notes of dewy watermelon, red plum, cherry blossom, and freesia).
It costs a reasonable $18.50/bottle (1.7oz). Way better than department stores prices, and it smells just as good.
I’m in love, people.

Firstshowing.net is a great site, and their Comic-Con ’08 coverage is superb (especially the pics they show). If you have no idea what Comic-Con is, let me sum up:
Put 150,000 geeks together, huge Hollywood players like Jennifer Conolley (“The Day The Earth Stood Still”), Samuel L. Jackson (“Afro-Samurai”), Kevin Smith (“Zak and Miri Make a Porno”), and Hugh Jackman (“Wolverine”), almost every major Hollywood studio, swag bags galore, movie memorabilia and props on display, and costumed patrons around every corner, and you have the country’s biggest comic book convention held every year in July, in sunny San Diego.
I’d go. I really would. Just couldn’t swing it this year. Maybe next year? It has been one of my geek-filled dreams to attend this con.
Stay classy Comic-Con goers!

Note: Although this design will only work for paras who have trunk control, it’s still incredible to see in action.
Waffles, Fried Eggs, and Testosterone
Why ‘o why does this video make me so happy??
There’s just something oddly satisfying about watching Kid Rock climb over booths in a Waffle House in the middle of the night, trying to beat the shit out of someone.
(it’s not clear if he suceeds either)

A Wheelchair Secret Exposed
Ok, maybe it’s not a “top secret” kind of secret, or purposely hidden for that matter, but it’s definitely not a well known thing…
What in the hell am I talking about? The BEST way to charge your chair, that’s what. How long have you been using a powerchair (me? 15 yrs)? And even though I work in the disability industry, I just found out 3 WEEKS ago that your chair will get an immensely better charge if you leave the joystick on.
That’s right folks, those twinkling lights can double as a nightlight.
And your welcome! I know I just made your Saturday. Actually, thank Andy at Reliable Medical. I love it when my wheelchair fix-it dude actually knows what in the hell he’s doing.
