FYI: Microbranding

I have had a number of people about cell popping … and frankly I have decided the name is not at all useful. "Cell popping" is descriptive, but simply doesn’t convey any useful information.
I started describing and referring to it as "microbranding" and most people went "ah, I get it" right away. So that’s the [...]

Cell Popping for fun and… well, fun mostly.

You never know when you will run into a brand new twisted hobby.  Yesterday was the first time I head of the practice gaining popularity under the name “cell popping”. Others apparently refer to it as “Devil’s Fire”. The new name comes, so I am told, from the sizzling / popping noise it makes. You [...]

My earliest interests in power…

Someone asked about the earliest thing we could remember that let us know we were “kinky”…
“As far back as I can remember my thoughts about the girls I was attracted to were those of control, possession or ownership first - sex came a distant second or third.
Beg for me, crawl for me, worship me, bleed for [...]

Money, morality and slavery…

The below is an additional post I put up in the discussion I referred to before.
(name deleted) - I do understand what you are saying. I simply disagree with not only your core premise but your conclusions. Once again, while it is a tragedy that someone is having trouble finding work, I am unclear by what [...]

The Illuminati want your money or something…

It’s been a little while since I came across a thread on the net that managed to wrap up a healthy dose of common conspiracy and new age concepts into one thread. Due to privacy issues with the community it is on I can neither show you the original post nor identify the person who [...]

Cleanup and old post rescue #2, The Death Thread!

No doubt about it, I rock.

Cleanup and old post rescue…

I have been reformatting some old posts and came across this gem. God, I love me.
“Oh, you can spare me the "how can you defend that rapist" hate mail. I didn’t defend his actions, that is just more of the victim culture silliness… to say that she should still be able to function is not to [...]

Earning leather…

This evening on prompting from a friend I set up a profile on FetLife, a fetish community. I took a moment to browse around the forums and came across a thread that struck me. Due to privacy concerns I will not copy / past the words of anyone from that community here except my own [...]

Hey, where did all the twitter go?

Over the last few weeks I have had the urge to write more here on the blog – but I am unhappy with the design and it hasn’t really seemed like the right place. In looking at it I realized that the automated Twitter updates were making me feel like my longer posts would get lost.
Hey, [...]

13 awesome brain problems.

“The human mind is an endlessly complex web of interconnected electrical impulses, a mesh of perceptions and evaluations so dense it may never be fully understood.  We do, however, have the capacity to recognize when something goes wrong, or if not wrong, then at least abnormal.  Enjoy this list of strange diagnoses of which you [...]

July 4th - Dissent, criticism, pride, guns and freedom

Note: This post is also on Herdwatching.
As I write this it it July 03, 2008. This post is not a long, coherent essay but rather the expression of a number of thoughts that have been swirling for a few weeks… brought to a point by a piece of writing by Chris Satullo over at the Philadelphia [...]

I was (am) one funny, optimistic, bitter motherf*cker…

I was (am) one funny, optimistic, bitter motherf*cker…

It started out simply… this message came across FriendFeed…
“Post your first authored site/blog Formatted as: domain, earliest archive date, wayback machine link” - Mark Krynsky 

That shouldn’t be that hard, I thought. I’ve pretty much always been in the same place here at soulhuntre.com. In fact, the first ever blog post I can remember making is still [...]

Second amendment thoughts…

I will eventually weave all this into a Herdwatching post… but here is a quick peek at my comments in a discussion on FriendFeed.
“Obviously I hope I never >need< a gun, but I absolutely demand the right to own one. It is not for the government to disarm me and render me helpless and entirely dependent [...]

Seesmic reply - Some more video

I have been playing with different video platforms today. So we will be seeing how this goes and where it takes me. This is a reply I put up about teachers and education.

Video weekend wrap up…

Video blog entry, testing out ustream.tv for this. You might need to hit play / pause / play if it doesn’t run - it needs to buffer.
