Just in case you thought you were over it, you're not. Not by the longest shot, kiddo. Because the Violet Blue vs. Boing Boing is far from finished. This most recent attack comes to you in convenient Twitter form, via Boing Boing comments moderator, the loopy Teresa Nielsen Hayden, who calls Blue a fibber and accusing Gawker Media of an all out attack. (?!) And then there was some sort of linkage freak out. Someone's......

As former SFist editors Eve Batey and Jackson West have already asked, just what in heaven's name happened to former SFist contributor Violet Blue's posts on Boing Boing? It seems that they have deleted her ouvre from their archives. West suggest that she might have "rubbed someone at Boing Boing the wrong way," which seems likely. But that? Also seems strange for any site to do to content, especially if said content is ripe with......

After reading her porn-for-women article in O Magazine, a clearly horny Tyra Banks invited former SFist contributor Violet Blue to be a panelist on the Tyra Banks Show (think the Oprah Winfrey Show, but unwatchable) to chat about porn for women. Although a rich and thoughtful tet-a-tet was not to had during filming, thanks to the titular host, Violet did learn what some have already known but dared not to whisper: Tyra Banks is......

Last week's winner, the SF Weekly: What? MORE letters about Rainbow? Matt Smith threatens to derail Newsom's gubernatorial campaign if he doesn't do something about parking. Rape awareness campaigns in the Castro. Cover article: a man who went through the SF court program designed to assist the mentally ill homeless. Ha! We like the headline "Fresno? Fres Yes!" A locally-written musical about San Francisco life. This picture of the dancing Starbucks baristas is excellent. Meredith......

There are few places where people get their collective geek on like Burning Man. A lot of folks are staying home this year -- Violet Blue gives some good reasons why -- and taking a chance to relax on the full-press coverage and pimp as much anti-party legislation as they can while the freak vote is out of town. Of course, just because you decided not to crash diet to look good in your sand-filled......

So we here at the blog round-up are practically ecstatic over our new cable modem, and we promise it's not just because we're reading former SFist Violet Blue's blog. (Which is definitely NSFW.) So this weekend to celebrate our blazing fast connection speed at home we decided to browse MySpace for blogs. This was a mistake. Maybe it's the heavy influence of text messaging, maybe it's the focus on music or photos, but apparently MySpace......

There's lots of politics out there this week, gentle readers, but we'll leave it to others to cover the big stories. We here at Blog Central are all about the next wave, the fringes of politics where wonk meets snark. For example, we've followed Tony (whoops -- guess we subconsciously think he's hella cool, and we promise that's the only time we'll use the word "hella." OK, we can't promise that.)Thomas Hawk's insistence on his......

While the rest of us will most likely weeping into our Jell-O shots at the Mint while wailing "Fighter" into the Karaoke machine this weekend in preparation for another Valentine's Day spent lining the catbox with our exes' silk boxers, there's no reason you shouldn't be having more fun than we are. For instance, this Friday you could meet legendary "Happy Hooker" Xaviera Hollander at the Center for Sex and Culture, where she'll be......

Are you kidding? Of course we were at the BayFF on Bloggers' Rights. We'd like to say that we were there because we were dying to hear the roundtable discussion on legal issues surrounding blogging, but we were mainly there to support SFist Jackson, who managed not to mention crack this time in his role as panelist. It's probably a good thing we weren't there out of our desire to be educated on blogging......

While we can think of about fifty places in the Mish to practice your Downward Dog without even trying, it's nice to find places where we can practice our favorite set of postitions without looking like we were stranded by our dates in the Cow Palace parking lot after Exotic Erotic. Since none of those Yoga Tree joints will let us practice our California Roll and the Metereon threw us out after our last......

Well, if you're at all gay (and we all are, at least a little, according to that big queen Kinsey) then you have absolutely no excuse to be bored this weekend. SFist urges you to go forth and make out with strangers! And remember, don't forget to think about the children, by which, of course, we mean to let them revel in God's creation of rainbow hotpants and house music, too! But first, while......

Special "Keeping tech sexy, or at least vulgar" edition. We've snarked before on Steve Jobs, um, wardrobe, so it was with great delight that we found on BoingBoing "Dress-up Steve Jobs" flash doohickey. We're thinking it may just convince him to wear something frilly to MacWorld next year -- it would be very flattering, Steve. Anil Dash Goatse'd the New York Times! Potentially offensive, yes. Completely hilarious, yes. What's not to like? If you......
