Confession

I...
Am a geek.  Ask any of my friends.  They'll tell you.

I drool over fun, geeky things, like the stuff on ThinkGeek (http://www.thinkgeek.com/).  One thing that's been on my wishlist for a while is Bucky Balls Magnetic Building Spheres (http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/science/bbe8/).  I see myself building models of DNA and zinc-fingers, recreating the structures of amino acids, and maybe predicting the chemical structure of the next great antibiotic that will beat antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Coincidentally, BzzAgent (I've written about BzzAgent before, here; http://www.bzzagent.com/) will soon be kicking off a BzzCampaign with Bucky Balls Magnetic Building Spheres.  I so want to be included.  I would show off to my geeky friends, one of which even has his own podcast called The Geek Life (http://thegeeklife.tv/).  I might even let them use my Bucky Balls.

Better yet!  I am a geek at work, too.  It's encouraged.  As a patent agent, I get to see all kinds of biotechy/chemically inventions all the time.  I could keep my Bucky Balls on my desk and use them to build models of my clients' inventions.  Ohh.  That would make the patent attorneys jealous.

BzzAgent, please include me in this campaign.  How many people can honestly say that they can use a geeky toy like Bucky Balls professionally?
