Smoking For Health Reasons
Smoking may kill you, but researchers and biotech companies are quietly developing pharmaceuticals that are really good for brains, bowels, blood vessels and even immune systems -- and they're inspired by tobacco's deadly active ingredient: nicotine.(Bullshit,but here's what there saying on all this anyway)
Nicotine acts on the acetylcholine receptors in the brain, stimulating and regulating the release of a slew of brain chemicals, including seratonin, dopamine and norepinephrine.Say What? The elbows connected to the shin bone, Not surprisingly, the first scientific work that identified these chemicals and how they affect the body came out of nicotine research -- much of it performed by tobacco companies.(Just creative marketing if you ask me.)
Now drugs derived from nicotine and the research on nicotine receptors are in clinical trials for everything from helping to heal wounds, to depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, Tourette Syndrome, ADHD, anger management and anxiety.
stressed out smoke 10 packs a day, hey there on to something here.
"Nicotine is highly stigmatized -- and for good reason, because the delivery system is so deadly," says Don deBethizy, CEO of Targacept. "But the drug itself and the research generated by studying its effects on the brain both show great promise for helping us improve our physical and mental health." Once again Bullshit Don.
DeBethizy worked for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company for 15 years -- he was one of the first to publicly declare that tobacco is addictive -- before he spun Targacept off as a separate company. RJR retains a 4 percent share of the Winston Salem biotech, which has one mission: to develop drugs that target the so-called "nicotinic receptors" in the human central-nervous system.Gee it's nice to know that that's your one mission in life..go blow ciggerate smoke up someone elses ass.Money, Money, Money that's your one mission..keep it real Don.
Nicotine performs that function to an unhealthy extreme. "Nicotine itself is hugely potent and not specific enough," says Linda Gretton, Targacept's director of communications. "But the research we have allows us to take the best therapeutic qualities of nicotine and develop treatments that target receptors." Yea whatever
smoking kills and it allways will....any geek worth a shit know's that.
Sex Toys For Geeks
As a woman and a geek who loves gifts I found this site and decided to do a spread on it..(Get it spread.)Anyway with x-mas just a few months away why not pass out toys,remember some items are easy to pass off as a joke if necessary. Big Teaze Toys makes a number of popular items, including the vibrating rubber duckie (with or without bondage wear) and the vibrating daisy, the petals of which snap off to become a cock ring.Thats hot.
Playgirl TV podcaster Jamye Waxman says toy kits make X-elent gifts for lovers. Kits usually come in attractive, gift-worthy boxes and often include extras like toy cleaner and lube, trust me get the cleaner and use it. Her favorite Playgirl kit includes "a vibrator with two jelly heads and a tickler feather thing," You gota see some of this stuff being a geek allows you to just be goofy and have fun with shit like this.
The titanium vibrators from Elemental Pleasures, custom hand-sculpted dildos from Atraw Ceramics or gorgeous glass dildos from Phallix are all beautiful enough, and expensive enough,this stuff is not cheep so you can impress your gifties with your dedication to his or her geeky pleasure.
Ya know, Sextoys are just the beginning when it comes to having playful holiday times. Statistics say It's been a breakout year for adult gaming, with a handful of titles appealing even to those who never thought they'd like computer games.See Stop being so stuffy and maybe you'll have some fun.
Todd White, producer at G4, suggests Shadow of the Colossus as a game for couples to play together.I say good call Todd.
"There's a beautiful love story in this game, a great 'love against all odds' story," he says. "It's very bittersweet. It has more emotion in it than any other game I've played." Wow powerfull words and a great review.
Shadow is not a two-player game in the traditional sense, but you can cuddle up in front of the computer and make the in-game decisions together, taking turns at the controls. (Or, in my case, letting the person with controller skills handle the buttons while I help distact him..still want to win. Heh.)
Indigo Prophecy, an adventure game where you play both a guy who murders someone and the cops who are after him, is another good choice. "It's very adult (as in grown-up, not pornographic), and it has great atmosphere, good acting, lots of choices to make," Todd says. "It can really feel like a two-player game when you play it with someone." Now that's what you need,get out of the locked room with your porno and share with your other.
If your lover wants to game and you don't, you can buy limited-term subscriptions to top games with adult themes. Amazon.com sells 60-day passes to World of Warcraft and City of Heroes. Or buy your paramour God of War, which Todd calls "ballsy," the first game Sony developed and published that has nudity. "It's one of the best games of the year -- if you want to get a good game for an adult gamer, this is one to get," he says. Great stuff Todd I looked at it and it does rock..I hope I helped you all and remember loosen up,add a friend,put down that comic book and you'll be better off..love jill

Microsoft Goes Retro And Delifers The Goods
Microsoft, creator of some of the best mice and available, has added a gaming mouse to its Sidewinder range. The word here is customization. From the cable thickness to the weight of the mouse itself, everything can be adjusted or swapped; there are three buttons dedicated to switching tracking resolution alone, with presets for 400, 800, and 2000 DPI (reprogrammable, of course)Saweeet.
The sidewinder's heft is changed by weights you slide-in, there are three sets of mouse feet, And all of different materials, to get the perfect "glide"; 7080 frames per second image processing; 20G max acceleration and a bewildering "9 million clicks" on each of the main buttons.
The sweet retro-Cylon (a stealth fighter jet) styling means it'll look mean on the desk, too. Perfect for some LAN party intimidation. Yours for a reasonable $80 when it ships this October.

Dear Geek Tattoos How Can I Make My Computer More Efficiant?
My fathers allways on my ass about my computer usage and how the computers are sucking up too much damn energy. I want to know what I can do so that my computer doesn't waste so suck up so much energy? I really do wanna go green and save the world from Global Warming!
Luke
Hey Luke,
You probably won't be surprised to discover that I spend quite a bit of time thinking about that very same question. First, you should let your father know that your computer, with all of it's amazing geeky opportunities for educational, economic and social advancement likely uses less power than a light bulb.
Most desktop computers use between 100 to 150 watts. Now, this goes way up if you've got some kind of geeked out high-end gaming system, but 100 watts is a pretty good energy investment for what these can't live without machines give to us...that's my opinion anyhow.
Calling All Greenhouse Geeks
Now Im mot saying that growing tullup's in your front yard takes any energy at all. However, for those of us who can't leave blog catalog long enough to go all the way outside to sniff some daisies, why not grow some on your kitchen table using USB power.
The little USB mini greenhouse takes the energy form your wall socket and converts it into what appear to me marigolds. The included CD-ROM will keep you informed of when you should be watering. You can find this for about $20 at geeks.com
