In case you forgot, Showtime’s new reality show. The Real L Word premieres Sunday, June 20th. The series follows “a group of six lesbians in their daily lives at work and play in Los Angeles”.
Thumbs up for the concept. Thumbs down for the show eschewing any butch or ethnic lesbians for the easier marketed uber-lipstick variety. Then again, it’s L.A. and television. Should I expect anything else?

The annual non-stop music, film, caberet, spoken word, theater, dance, networking, non-mainstream queer extravaganza begins tonight in Atlanta (of course). I’ll be making appearances throught the weekend. If you see me say hello!

For the past few years, I’ve been keeping an eye on iPhone development; the apps, capabilities, disabilities, etc. I even settled on the iPod Touch to get my feet wet. Originally, it was the iPhone’s (total) cost holding me back. Then, there was the hope Apple and Verizon would work out a deal so I didn’t have to switch to AT&T.
All the while I’ve been pushing my old-school LG enV VX9900 to its limits.
Recently, I had an epiphany.
Yup. Time for me to give up on the iPhone. It was a cute idea; until things started to get ugly. I could list a bunch of links but Newsweek’s Daniel Lyons summed up most of what I’ve been thinking.
As sick as I am of my iPhone’s dropped calls, I’m even more sick of Apple treating us all like a bunch of idiots, stonewalling and bullying and feeding us ridiculous explanations for the shortcomings of its products—expecting us to believe, basically, that its flaws are not flaws, but strengths.
Steve Jobs has created his own precious little walled garden. He’s looking more and more like Howard Hughes, holed up in his penthouse, making sure he doesn’t come in contact with any germs.
Now Google is saying, hey, nice garden, have fun sitting in it. By yourself.
I’ve already placed my Droid Incredible order. It will be a few weeks before it arrives. But I’m already excited!
