Stumbling Along…Sexytime edition….

So in the past I’ve stumbled extensively about random sites, Done some stumbles about music, videos, politics… But I’ve never done one about sex. So here goes. and for those that still don’t know about Stumbleupon, HERE is some info.

*Warning* this post will straddle the PG-13 line. However there will be links that may lead you to some hard R content. There is no porn, no X ratings, but if your sensitive to this type of stuff (hi Family!) you may want to not click links or ignore this post all together. Don’t worry, I’ll let you slide….

The Great Wall Of Vagina: There, that got your attention, right? Right now in London there is an art gallery owned by  Brighton Body Casting. On display are the plaster molds of over 400 Vagina’s that have been “collected” since 2009. Check out THIS LINK to see video’s on what inspired the artists to do this, as well as take a virtual tour of the gallery….

Sex life getting dull? looking for some spice? well, HERE is a handy website that lists dozens of sex positions. It’s not video’s and not real people, its computer generated and very tame, so don’t get too excited…perv…

The Art Of The Accidental Penis: it’s actually exactly like it sounds. A gallery of photo’s of every day objects, that whether intentionally or not, look like penis’. There’s actually some pretty funny ones. check them out HERE

World Sex Records: Yup, it’s like the Guinness book of world records, but for sex. It’s amazing what you can be the “best” at…. Check it HERE

Ever wonder where all the single people are? HERE is an interesting article and map on where the highest concentration of single people in the U.S. are…so get packing!

Dita Von Teese: Dita is a modern-day burlesque dancer/performer, conjuring images or Jane Russell, Bridget Bardot and Marilyn Monroe at their Naughtiest. Check out her site HERE

There’s always been jokes and innuendo about stay at home moms and lonely, unappreciated wives and their washing machines. Well, Dominic Wilcox seems to have decided to fill a void in a market i don’t think anyone knew existed. It’s basically a washing machine sex toy. Really. check it out HERE and try your best to imagine the non-pornstar person that would be comfy having this in their laundry room. Probably also doesn’t help that he named it the “Orgasmatron 3000″

The PEEQ.com : For those of you wanting a sex-based social site, PEEQ is for you. Containing articles, photo’s, events and member posts, this is a great site for people who like to read about sex, talk about sex and express their sexual desires in a public arena. also has advice columns and humor. check it out HERE

Not sure what makes them experts, but here’s BLAP.com’s list of their top nine sex jokes.get your naughty laugh-on HERE

I find this one kinda funny. While stumbling through the SEX subject i was directed to THIS Wikipedia entry.

Well written little blog entry called “In Defense Of Sex” Enjoy….

Divorce: i was actually sent to several sites that talked about divorce, it’s depressing that divorce and sex are so closely linked. But on a funny note HERE is a (very Dirty) divorce letter that should make you laugh a little

And Lastly, here is an article titled “25 Things women don’t know about men”

So i hope you enjoyed my first Sex Stumble, I’ll probably do one again, but since it took quite a while to find links that weren’t just thinly veiled porn, it may take me a while….

 

Saratoga County Animal Shelter

For the last few months I’ve been working on a special project for the Saratoga County animal shelter. So here it is, a sneak peek at their new website before goes live later today http://www.saratogacountyanimalshelter.net/

Let me know what you think and please be sure to spread the word

Gay Vs. Straight…Weddings, that is….

So, besides my 1200 hobbies and side projects, my actual career is a Wedding DJ. I’ve been in the business for almost 20 years and i thoroughly love what i do.

Recently. as i’m sure you all know, Gay Marriage was legalized in New York. I’m fine with that for two reasons.

1. All people are equal and love shouldn’t be limited to strictly defined male-female categories.

2. It opens up an entire new section of clientelle for my business.

So today, with the Spring and summer wedding seasons fast approaching, i decided to list my business on as many gay/lesbian sites as i could. Now you may be surprised to learn that there are a ton of them, i was surprised by something else entirely.

See the average advertising costs on “Straight” sites are anywhere from $5.99-$14.99 per month or $25-$100 a year to list your service with them. The vast majority also have a free basic listing or a free trial listing.

The Average “Gay” site? well, the cheapest i found was $25 PER MONTH. i was unable to find a single site that offered a free basic listing or trial listing. The Average yearly price seemed to be around $150

Now i’m not cheap, but i’m usually not willing to shell out money for a web listing till i see what traffic is like and how well the site actually works. When i find a site to be good, i upgrade my listing and pay. Simple, right?

So here’s my point: Why are Gay/lesbian sites so unbelievably high priced compared to “Straight” sites? Here’s my theory. Greed. The owners of these sites know that the amount Gay/Lesbian weddings will be exploding in the next few years and they are set to capitalize on the action. And while i will never fault a business for trying to make a buck, i really think it’s stupid and counterintuitive to charge premium prices for basic listings and outrageous prices for premium listings. They are not only making small businesses like myself turn away, but they are failing to compete with other sites that have been established for years and offer larger services to customers AND vendors.

This would be like me raising my prices for Gay/Lesbian weddings because they’re suddenly going to be popular…

Most would consider this a pointless rant, but i simply hate the feeling i’m being shafted

And lastly, shamless plug:  If you live in Upstate NY and are looking for a DJ, check out Feulner Dj Service

SOPA & PIPA… make your voice heard today…

 

In case you are wondering why Google has blacked out their name, and why Wikipedia is blacked out and why even WordPress, the site that hosts my blog, has their main page censored, it’s all About PIPA and SOPA. If you don’t know what these are, here’s a blog i wrote a few days ago about SOPA. please check out the resources, do some homework and help support this fight…Losing this fight is the beginning of losing your freedom of speech on the internet. http://glenfeulner.wordpress.com/2012/01/08/fight-for-your-right/

You can send a protest letter directly to Congress through http://americancensorship.org/

Please also visit http://sopastrike.com/ for more information on today’s protest, who’s participating and how you can help. There are some great links and info here.

Next, Here is a link to lists of companies/sites that are supporting PIPA & SOPA. Make sure you take a minute to show them how you feel. http://theoriesofconspiracy.com/2011/11/list-of-major-companies-supporting-sopa.htm

People are always talking about history, the effect it has on the world, and the ramifications of letting bad things happen because we’re too busy or too lazy or too ignorant. This could very well be a defining moment in our generation. These are very dangerous bills that would give the Government unilateral power to control the internet and reduce our freedoms to that of China. No Democracy should have that power over it’s people. And remember, this isn’t a political issue in the traditional sense. this is supported by Liberals and Conservatives alike. you CANNOT depend on your “party” to represent you this time.

Lastly. if you are on Twitter, use #SOPASTRIKE all day today, let’s make it a #1 trending topic and force people to pay attention

 

 

Stumbling along 1/14/12

Well, the new year’s here, so here’s a new edition of Stumbling along.  for those of you that STILL don’t know what stumbling is, check out StumbleUpon. it’s pretty cool and really addictive.

To start, here’s a video of a really old man dancing to LMAFO

HERE is an awesome pictoral about an abandoned doll factory. Obligitory creepy sample pic below

An now, to wipe away the pending nightmares, HERE are 40 pictures of painfully cute puppies

I’m not even sure i like this site, but it’s just of kilter enough for me to share it. It’s called “AntiJoke”. Here’s a sample joke:

Q. Why did the boy drop his ice cream?
A. Because he was hit by a bus.

Burning Man. it’s kind of a cross between a rave, a hippie commune and Mad Max: Beyond thunderdome. The point is, Scott London takes some awesome pics from there. Check out this interview and a bunch of photo’s….

The Photo below? yeah, it’s not a photo. It’s actually a drawing, done entirely with chalk and graphite. mind blown yet? wait till you check out more of Paul Caddens work HERE

Ecosphere’s. I WANT ONE! here’s a description of the pic below:

“Inside these sealed glass balls live shrimp, algae, and bacteria, all swimming around in filtered seawater. Put it somewhere with some light, and this little ecosystem will chug along happily for years, no feeding or cleaning necessary, totally oblivious to the fact that the rest of the world exists outside.EcoSpheres came out of research looking at ways to develop self-contained ecosystems for long duration space travel. They’re like little microcosms for the entire world, man. But ask yourself: are we the shrimp, or the algae?”

A really cool stop motion video about books. you know i’m in. Check it out HERE

Wonderland is a photo series by Kirsty Mitchell.The pic below is just a small taste of an amazing collection and an interesting interview. Check it out HERE

And to finish off, here’s a few random pictures i really just like….

Fight For Your Right…

Recently a cell phone company decided to institute a $2 convenience charge to pay your bill online. And the people responded. petitions started, phone lines were flooded and after the FCC threatened to investigate, the fee disappeared before it even started.

This is a perfect example of  standing up when you think you are being wronged. People called shenanigans and the corporation folded. This is the power of your voice. And while for a moment this gives me hope that people are becoming more aware of how things affect their lives, i worry that there’s an upcoming battle the people will take lying down. And that’s the battle for your freedom on the internet. First off is this frightening little article HERE It’s called “Dislike: How Facebook Can Hurt Your Credit.”

See according to this article, in the future, when cyborgs walk amongst us and flying cars and jet packs are a reality, Credit checks, mortgages and loans will involve giving companies the right to view you Facebook pages, Contact your Facebook friends for references and private information about you and even post on your page if you are late with payments. Wait…what?…oh crap…. Sorry folks, it appears that companies are already doing it NOW. Read the article for all the gory details. Go ahead, i’ll wait……. Back? Done? Good….  Here’s my point on this. This invasion of privacy will be common within five years if we don’t say no today. if you refuse to let companies do this to you and threaten to take your business elsewhere, it will never pick up steam. So when you sign any paperwork, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. READ. DON’T BE DUMB.

Of course that absolutely pales in comparison to SOPA.

Now this is where things get tricky. Because knowing about SOPA (Stop Internet Piracy Act) involves doing a little homework, paying attention to current events and getting off your fat ass to do something about it. So to help you along HERE is a link to a page with over 15 articles on SOPA, including a general facts article. I really hope you go read this on your own, but to give you some basic facts that will hopefully encourage you to read more, here’s the Ten Cent tour of SOPA:

SOPA is a bill that is in the house, with a similar bill in the Senate. Both bills aim to stop the online piracy of movies, music and everything else with a copyright on it. On its face it might seem like a good bill, entertainment industries lose billions to online piracy. The problem is, the bill has vague and far reaching language that could stop the internet cold. See this bill  will give the federal government the ability to shut down sites that profit from or endorse online piracy or anything seen as a threat to the United States. You got that, right? that means this bill will give the Govt unilateral power to shut down anything on the internet that they consider a threat. This could include everything from my blog to YouTube to Twitter. it would also give them the right to block any overseas or offshore websites. Therefore any country that doesn’t like us, wants to bad mouth us on a blog or even on a state run website, well yeah, we’ll block them to “protect” United States Citizens. Lastly, it requires your internet provider to track the websites you got to and block them from your computer when they find any site breaking any type of copyright laws. Wonder where all that privacy information will end up.

If you don’t see the dangerous, slippery, slippery slope this puts  us on, please stop reading this, stop voting on anything except Dancing With The Stars and for the love of god please stop reproducing. But if there’s even a tiny part of you that realizes how bad this is, please read the articles and contact your elected officials, because this is gaining broad, bi-partisan support in both houses, so whether you are a republican or Democrat, this will affect you.

Think of it this way, five years from now the government could shut down the next Occupy Wall Street or Tea Party, wipe them off the internet because the elected officials in power at that time are threatened by freedom of speech that could cost them elections. No good can come of this bill, so please get involved.

I know I’m not the most eloquent blogger around, I don’t think I actually even qualify as a blogger, but the potential behind this bill scares me. Loss of freedom is not means to justify an end and in an election year we need to et our “representatives” know that this bill doesn’t represent the will of the people and it will cost them their re-election bids if they back this. You could get off your ass for $2, now how about doing it again for this. And Hey, Occupy movements, Maybe you should get behind something that could affect your cause, not just generic catchphrases and talking points. Try doing something that will actually make a difference.

Happy New Years…

Favorite Animal Shelter pics 2011

For those of you that don’t know, i volunteer at a local animal shelter. I have the most amazing time being able to go there and spend time with some of the most wonderful dogs you could ever imagine. Over the year i’ve been there i’ve tried to get pics of every dog i’ve worked with. I haven’t always succeeded, but i’ve managed to get some really great shots.Also thanks to Amy for capturing some great ones that i would have missed.  So here’s a gallery of my favorite dog photos. I’m so thankful that almost all of these dogs have been adopted and have loving homes and i’m glad i’ll always have these photo’s to remember them. These aren’t every dog i’ve worked with this year, just my favorite shots.

And to see the new website i built for the shelter, click HERE
