Is it the End of the World Yet?????

Has the large hadron collider destroyed the world yet?

Geek Girl Find of the Day

If you're a perv-geek like I am, you will LOVE this book! I finished reading it within a couple of nights. BONK, by Mary Roach, author of Stiff,is a beautiful masterpiece of sex and science....everything you ever wanted to know about scientific sex studies and how they are performed!

Weapon of Choice

My goal when I started freelance writing was to save up enough money for a nice, new, geek-tastic laptop. I'm happy to say that last month, I met my goal and am as of this moment, typing on it with a satisfied grin on my face. I am a certified nerd who is in love with her own gadgets.

I had a delimma over which one to purchase. My heart told me to get an apple, but my savings account begged to differ. My teenage son wanted to to get something that I could easily run Ubuntu on. While I am a well known geek girl, I'm concentrating on my writing skills right now. When I get ready to earn my computer freak-hood badge, I'll let him know.

Instead, I decided on a Toshiba Satellite computer with Windows Vista. So far, I have absolutely loved it! I can't keep my hands off it and I think my significant other is becoming jealous. I'm curious to know what everyone's preferences are. Mac, PC, EEeeee....? What is your weapon of choice?

Geek Girl Moral Dilemma

My mother called today to ask for my help with her email. She is 75 years old and uses AOL Dial up service. Her problem, you see, was that she could not open an email attachment from something called "you tube".

Here's where the moral dilemma comes in. The attachment was an Obama bashing video that she wanted to see.

Fuck!

I compromised. I opened the attachment for her, but explained that because of her connection, it would take over an hour to buffer. She decided not to wait.

Geek Girl Find of the Day

These cool ice shot glasses can be found on the ThinkGeek website. I ordered some for my boyfriend and they are fantastic. They come as a mold of four shot glasses. You fill the mold up with water and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you just pop them out of the mold and pour in the tequila!

Super!

If you don't like the ones at ThinkGeek, they have some pretty nice ones on Amazon, as well.

The God Particle

LONDON (AFP) - Renowned British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking has bet 100 dollars (70 euros) that a mega-experiment this week will not find an elusive particle seen as a holy grail of cosmic science, he said Tuesday.

In the most complex scientific experiment ever undertaken, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be switched on Wednesday, accelerating sub-atomic particles to nearly the speed of light before smashing them together.

"The LHC will increase the energy at which we can study particle interactions by a factor of four. According to present thinking, this should be enough to discover the Higgs particle," Hawking told BBC radio.

"I think it will be much more exciting if we don't find the Higgs. That will show something is wrong, and we need to think again. I have a bet of 100 dollars that we won't find the Higgs," added Hawking, whose books including "A Brief History of Time" have sought to popularise study of stellar physics.

About Masturbation

Contrary to what you might be thinking, this article is not about my previous relationships...which can only be classified as mutual ego masturbation. Nor is it about my lovely present relationship.

Let me explain.

I've been doing freelance writing for several months now and I have to say that I am enjoying it more and more every day. I write a lot for Demand Studios which produces content for Ehow.com. I log in and choose from a list of articles to write about. A couple of weeks ago I paused as I came across the "How Does Masturbation Relieve Stress?" title.

Of couse I chose it! People always tell you to 'write what you know'. Right?

I had a little too much fun doing that article. The photo I chose was a shirtless guy pumping lotion into his hand and the article got quite comical as the process went on. So much so that I was afraid of getting a little note from my editor saying "NO WAY is this getting publsihed".
Quite the contrary, I'm pleased to report. I got a note back saying excellent writing and grammar and that it was quite clever. Also, that I should add more "hard data" to paragraph two.

HARD DATA!!! Bwahhahhhaaaaaaaa!

Since this article is for a new, unlaunched part of the site, it is not yet available for viewing. As soon as it is, I'll be sure to post a link.

However, I would appreciate it if you have time to check out a few of my favorites.

Such as:

How to Increase Your Wife's Libido

In my mind, the subtitile is: Do the Fucking Dishes.

Or you could take a look at

How to Do Unique April Fool's Pranks

Either way, I have begun to choose all the titles relating to sex and alcohol.

SandM Barbie gets Backlash!

S&M Barbie here is getting all kinds of backlash!! Based on a DC comics character, Black Canary Barbie is having lots of fun punishing all those religious groups that are giving her shit!

Aside from the teacher Barbie with no underwear, I never thought I would see a Barbie I acutally wanted to buy.

Once again, I am proven wrong.
