Pedal Powered Wireless Networked Computer?
Friends of Jhai asks: "An NGO called Jhai Foundation, which is building Internet learning Centers in Laos has enlisted Computer Hall-of-Famer Lee Felsenstein to build a cheap, locally assembled, wirlelessly networked PC and communications system. The current details of the machine are here and the application is here. They are looking for similar systems under way that they might work with or which might be ready for deployment. Anyone have any URL's we can check out?" Great! Now you can get your computing and exercising done at the same time! What other types of technology have people managed to adapt to man-power as opposed to boring ol' AC outlets?

Well whattya know. . . I got some work . . thank god. . . The Erotic Network called me and asked me to do Behind the Scenes for Jewel DeNyle's Sluts of the Nyle 5. So of course, I did. That was today.
I'd have to say it was kinda fun. Not real fun, but kind of. I like working, whatever it is. I do have to say that I'm getting bored shooting sex, though. It gets old, and sort of disgusting, to watch a dick going in and out of a pussy, or a mouth, for hours and hours and hours. Also it smells in the room. And I don't want to be racist or anything, but both of the studs that performed today were black - the two biggest (and I do mean biggest) black guys in the business, Mr. Marcus and Lexington Steele - and there's a certain smell that black people have. God that sounds racist. But it's true. I'm not saying it's bad. It actually reminds me of when I was in kindergarten and we used to take naps and I would nap next to Coy Morrow or Damon Council. It's just a certain smell, okay? And combined with the sex smell . . . well . . . I just maybe want to smell some other smells for a while, okay?
The concept of director in porn kind of trips me out. . . I mean, this film was, in name at least, directed by Jewel DeNyle, who is a young girl who has been in the industry for about three years, and has lately started doing her own line for Jill Kelly Productions. But that director title is just a joke. . . there is such a formula for how a porn film is done - get ten minutes of this position, eight of that, let's get the softcore pussylicking, now move your head sweetie, let's get the hard version, flip her over, let's do doggie, all right make spoons until the FIP (remember what a FIP is?) and then five minutes of hardcore A and then let's fuck to the pop. . . it's basically the same, with some minute variations, for every scene (at least in mainstream hetero porn). And this movie doesn't even have any dialogue - so there ain't really that much directing . And in addition, the decisions that do have to be made, are made by the DP (who, in porn, is also the camera operator). The DP today confided in me, I've shot about 3000 scenes - and directed about 2900 of them. Meaning, despite his lack of a director's credit, he's the one that tells the actors when to switch positions, where to move, and decides when to go in close with the camera, when to pause for the stills. It's funny to me. I guess that it struck me especially because I've thought of the director's position as something I'd like to work towards. . . but now I'm starting to realize that I'll never make a film for any of these mainstream porn companies, because all they truly want is the familiar formula crap.
Mr. Marcus impressed me, not just because he fucked Jewel well, which he did (and I'm not talking about just pounding her- he actually fucked her well, sensually and sexily, calling out at one point as he fucked her deep in her ass, This is the shit! and jealously I believed him) but also because he was cool. I have this thing for cool people. Despite how annoying Sergio and Tom can be (those are the guys that I basically live with - Sergio as my studio-neighbor, Tom as my housemate), both are actually kind of cool and for that I find myself liking them. As a kid, I was never that cool , but my two best friends, Jarret Levine and Josh Lefkowitz, were each probably the coolest kids in their respective schools. I'm just attracted to it (coolness). And what is it? Hard to define. Charisma, maybe. Good taste. An ease in carrying the body. Unquestioning confidence. Not an overabundance of self-reflection (in other words, not neurotic). Good looks are often part of the package but they're not everything. Being black can help.
Mr. Marcus was telling me in the interview how he seduces women ( I was interested.)
You get a lot of free pussy that you don't have to work for on the sets, I said. Do you fuck a lot in your real life?
Oh hell yeah. Think about it. Right here, I'm here for what, two hours? That gives me 22 other hours in the day. And believe me, I'm fucking.
So how do you do it? How do you get the ladies?
First thing I do, is I sniff 'em. And I don't be like a dog, sniffin' em like snsnsnsnsnff . . . More like, smell 'em, real gentle. Then I look in their eyes . . . what I do is, I use the power of suggestion. Don't go out and ask for the pussy. You don't never ask for the pussy till you up in it. Remember that. The power of suggestion.
He has an advantage over the rest of us, though, in that he has an office right next door to World Modeling (Jim South's famous agency that all the girls just getting into the business go through). It's possible that they're easier to suggest things to.
I enjoyed him. He has a website that has plenty of pictures of him and the women that he fucks. Maybe you should look at it. He also has some of his poetry on his site. He wrote this:
Creativity they say comes from a moderate intelligence, if they are too intelligent they would never find a reason or need to create. I come from a moderate intelligence.
I have a need to create, if sexually then so be it.
Not like that's fucking profound or anything but I did think it was interesting.The more intelligent you are, the less the need to create? Actually I'm sort of of the opinion that the more intelligent you are, the better you're going to be at creativity, but maybe that's not what he's saying.
I'm feeling my own intelligence slide lately. I think it's just in the last couple of days. I feel myself falling into what Frank Zappa has deemed The Killer Fog, which means my thinking is cloudy. Part of it may be that I got mucho wasted on Saturday night. It was an excellent night, actually. I had just learned that I got this BTS gig for Monday so I was in a good mood and less worried about certain fiscal responsibilities. But what really made it a great night was that I met this girl Pilar (re-met her actually, she had gone to Brown with me but I hadn't seen her out here in LA) and she is fucking AWESOME . . . . I don't wanta say too much ( I told her about the website and there's always the possibility that she might read my journal) but to be honest I'm sort of excited.
Speaking of reading my journal: on Sunday I called up my sister (she's 28 and goes to grad school, in psychology, in New York City). She confessed that she's been reading my entries. That one kind of took me by surprise, since I've been very open in these entries and didn't really think about a member of my family reading them (my parents, to the best of my knowledge, don't know about this site, yet). After mulling it over for a while, I've actually decided that it's good. Or, if not good, then at least fine. I haven't been that open with my sister when it comes to my personal life, but I wanted to be. Are any of you like that with your brothers or sisters? You just have a certain type of relationship that has barriers in it? There's no good reason for it but that's just the way things are - so that's the way things continue to be. I see her reading my journal as a way to break the cycle of non-communication that we've been following. So that's good.
In fact, I invited her to write something on my site about how she feels about me making porn (at one point she was one of the most fervent feminists in the Carolinas, making Naomi Wolf look like Laura Bush, but in the more recent years has calmed down). Let's see if she does.
It looks like I am going to take part in the Good Vibrations porn after all. I got an email from the director telling me that she wants me in the movie. They're shooting on the 20th of the month in Chico (Chico?) and hopefully I will be financially stable enough to make it up there. When I'm there, I'll be able to pitch my idea for a movie to the producer - and this is a production company that I want to be a director for. I have a good feeling that they're not going to go for the same fuck in three positions/moan about how good your pussy feels with that big black dick inside of it/come all over girl's eyebrows formula that has been boring me as of late.
Strange things are afoot in East L.A .
. . I'm taking over the lease on my studio from Alan (he has been renting
both storefronts, 226 Glendale and 224, and in turn renting me a space in
224, but now he wants me to take over all of 224 so he doesn't have to worry
about raising the money for both places.) I'm into the idea, but it does mean
that I'm going to have find someone to share the space with me. So if you're
in LA and you're a video or graphic artist and you want to share a storefront
for $250 a month, then emai me.
And we've decided to get evicted from our place in Silverlake, because we don't want to pay the rent this month. Tom and I are hoping that our landlord will let us stay there rent-free for a couple of months until we find a new place. He mentioned something akin to that last month when, after being twenty or so days late with the rent, he requested that we leave. See, if we leave, he'll be able to raise the rent about five hundred dollars a month (since Tom has lived there for six years , during which time the place was rent-controlled). Silverlake has gotten hot (did you hear Aaron Spelling is planning on setting his new show in Silverlake? There goes the neighborhood. . .)We'll see what actually happens. Tom is saying that
we should find a new place together, with his man Kevin. Let's see what actually
happens.
I leave you with this quotation from Donald Barthelme's Daumier:
The trouble with you is that you are an idiot, Gibbon said. You lack a sense of personal worthlessness. A sense of personal worthlessness is the motor that drives the overachiever to his splendid overachievements that we all honor and revere.
Why don't you actually try getting out of your parents basement and get some fucking EXCERCISE. Ever seen how fat the Slashdot editors are?. Even tux the penguin is a fat slob! Even if it means actually going up to the Toilet instead of using UNIX pipes to send it to /dev/null. Go on, moderate this as FAT TROLL that is if your not too fat to click the moderate button.
