The Top 10 weirdest keyboards ever

I found this to be pretty cool: The Top 10 weirdest keyboards ever:

Keyboards come in many shapes – from the simplest computer grey $9.99 standard 102-key keyboard to variants that seem to come straight out of a Star Trek episode. Here’s our Top 10 list of the weirdest keyboards ever.

My favorite is the Virtual Laser Keyboard.

Erotica becoming much more acceptable by mainstream circles

It appears that erotica romance is being taken somewhat seriously:

“These aren’t your grandma’s romance novels,” says Susan Pezzack, editor of Spice Books, Harlequin’s new erotica imprint that launches in May. “Erotica was once considered a dirty little secret, and no one would admit to reading it. Now it’s considered more of an art form, it’s more acceptable to be on display in major bookstores and women aren’t embarrassed to purchase it. It’s becoming more and more mainstream.”

Women debate Gaily Sheehy’s book on ‘seasoned’ sex

There’s a new book out that deals with aging women having sex, but for some reason critics aren’t pleased with it for all the wrong reasons:

In an age when Viagra has revolutionized the sex lives of older men, who would have thought anyone would take issue with Gail Sheehy’s contention, in her new book, “Sex and the Seasoned Woman,” that aging women want lively sex lives too? After all, didn’t women of a certain age grow up in the same swinging ’60s and ’70s? Don’t baby boomers believe they invented modern sex?

And who are all the millions of Viagra-fueled seventy something men supposed to have sex with — women in their 20s? Yes, say Sheehy’s critics, who happen to be maturing women themselves.

Mencia stealing material?

After writing my open letter to Carlos, I played around with Google a little bit and found this nifty Wikipedia article:

In a 2005 interview by Howard Stern, comedian George Lopez claimed that he and Mencia were involved in a physical altercation at a comedy club. Lopez alleged that Mencia appropriated 13 minutes of Lopez’ material, without permission, for Mencia’s HBO comedy special. Lopez told Stern, “It’s not really a feud, I mean, I think I won.” Shortly afterwards, comedian Joe Rogan wrote a post on his website publicly accusing Mencia of being a plagiarist, alledging that Mencia stole jokes from a number of comedians.
