Annalee Newitz, of our sister site io9, will kick things off tonight with a no doubt Glamour-worthy list of "the dos and don'ts of sci-fi sex." Other highlights include a licking machine with a silicone tongue and a panel on homoerotic fanfic. If you can't make it out to the Bay Area, at least head over to The Kirk/Spock Fanfiction Archive for some hot man-on-Vulcan action. [Wired]

What about 2070? Forward-focused Jezebels might want to head over to our new science-fiction sister blog, io9, which officially launches today. Described by editor Annalee Newitz as a pop-culture site in which she and her team of writers get to focus on "fantasies as well as realities in terms of what's going on in the future," the blog focuses on stuff we love — books, movies, Lost! — and stuff we don't, but might — space porn, "how to shit in space". And you gotta love that half-creepy, half-cute as a button girl-with-implant avatar.
