Techno- what?

Technosexual apparently.

Found this post on Gizmodo with a video from NBC News, discussing the “technosexual”

So what’s a “technosexual”? Someone who get really, really intimate with his computer?

(In fact, check out the comments below the post for some excellent interpretations of the term)

Looked up the list at UrbanDictionary.com for some definitions too.. and here are a few choice quotes:

” Technosexual is the scientific name for “NERD!”

– ripfire4

“The technosexual man only had girlfriends with names ending in .jpg”

– UrbanDictionary.com

A little more Googling, and here’s the Technosexual blog.

(Have you watched the video yet? That part at the end, where she says don’t try following the link yourself? That’s Good Advice(tm). =)

It saddened me to read about the plight Jack Aboutboul is in now.

I was browsing through the feeds when I came across his plea for help on his blog (via Digg)

Apparently, he was given a type of antibiotic by his doctor, called Avelox. He developed an adverse reaction to it though, and is now facing fluorine poisoning. It seems that this kind of side effect is rare and his doctor hadn’t seen an adverse reaction to the drug before.

Jack’s okay and not in any danger now it seems, but still faces the after effects of the drug, including anxiety attacks and insomnia.

Hope he gets well soon though. If anyone knows more about (curing) this do pop by his blog to let him know yeah?
