Nike + Ipod?
Well, this is something I didn't necesarily see coming, but in retrospect should have.
The Nike Ipod shoe. I know, it's a big WTF! but apparently these new brand of nikes have a disk in them that relays information like speed, pace, travelled, calories burned, and so on and so forth to your ipod. So basically during your morning jog your Ipod will be relaying things like how far, and how fast you're running, giving you encouragment. Things like that. It seems like an insanely cool idea. I wouldn't mind a pair.-----------------------------------------------
Cannabis chemical 'helps heart'
A chemical in cannabis can help ward off strokes and heart disease, scientists believe.
Swiss researchers found THC, one of 60 cannabinoids in the drug, helped stop the narrowing of arteries to the brain and heart in a study of mice.
They say that smoking the stuff doesnt have the same effect, of course they probably had to say that so they woudln't lose their grant.
Just in case I'm doubling my dosage :-)

I wann join!
Well, ever wanted to be a native tribesman from Fiji? Well, with a low low down payment you can do it!
As they say on their site:
"The goal: to build a sustainable eco-community and keep at bay developers with dreams of massive hotel complexes.
Memberships ? Nomad ($220), Hunter ($440) and Warrior ($660) ? entitle members to seven, 14 or 21 days on the palm-fringed 200-acre oasis, 100 at a time. Fees cover food, lodging and local airport transfer.
This is not for the five-star hotel crowd. The tribe will be roughing it, especially the early arrivals, who will have only tents and basic shower and toilet facilities.
"The first job for the tribe," [co-founder Ben] Keene said, "is to build for those who come later," working alongside paid Fijian laborers to build beach huts. There's no electricity, but solar energy will provide Internet access."
You know, I was seriously thinking about doing this. It would be kind of fun. If Fiji wasn't one of the scary to gay people countries.
