This blog is wacked. I’ll say that in no uncertain terms. The book is wacky too. People from the midwest, not sexually edgy SF or NY, no, building sex machines, that are too bizarre to describe. Archibald, the blog + book author, seems to be a reporter and observer of these incredible proclivities. Check out the interview with him on the RU Sirius show.

Now a different view is emerging, one of man the hunted.

I like the idea of other magazine though I haven’t seen a copy yet. They also have a blog. Don’t fit into a neat category on the political spectrum, do you willingly break some of the proscribed rules of your subcultural group, or just plain enjoy the outsiderness?? Check other…
