For layoff pain, you really can't beat nitrous oxide
A tipster swears he saw a Six Apart employee "at a bar in the Lower Haight today inhaling massive amounts of Nitrous Oxide in the corner and passing it around, no joke. I wonder if he was laid off." Do you know what that stuff costs? It's far more likely that Mr. Whip-It still has a job, and can't show up drunk today. -

British dotcom millionaire in rape-and-drugs row
David Atherton, a British entrepreneur who sold e-commerce site Dabs.com to BT for $55.7 million in 2006, is going to need some of that money for his legal defense. A 49-year-old woman has accused him of abducting and trying to rape her in his $2.8 million home. Police also charged Atherton with "threats to kill, false imprisonment and possession of a Class A drug," which could be ecstasy, LSD, heroin, cocaine, crack, mushrooms, or amphetamines. Not, as far as we can tell, OC-40. -

TechCrunch discovers Provigil
I have to admit, before I signed on to Valleywag, I had a few issues with the "OC-80 scare of '07." Sure, maybe jaded VCs or entrepreneurs who'd already cashed out where taking strong painkillers, but up-and-comers? They're going to be on antidepressants like Wellbutrin and Effexor — Prozac and Zoloft are old news — and stimulants. So it was some amusement that I read Provigil has become popular. More » -

Sex, drugs, and violence: The 10 surprises in Henry Nicholas's indictment
Nothing former Broadcom CEO Henry Nicholas did is particularly remarkable to anyone who's enjoyed Brett Morgen's The Kid Stays in the Picture biopic about the life and times of Robert Evans. What's remarkable is that it was a technology CEO in Orange County and not someone in the abnormally amoral entertainment industry. As cynical and jaded as we may be about the foibles of the ultrarich of the Valley, even we were surprised by some of the stunts detailed in the allegations, if only for their naïveté. More » -

How StumbleUpon's Garrett Camp rolls
A tipster — tipsy? — shares this information about StumbleUpon founder and The 250 member in good standing Garrett Camp: "If you meet Camp, get his business card. Get several, if you can." Whatever for? "The cards are prized in certain SoMa circles, but not for the information printed on the front: They're ideal for rolling roaches. True, any unlaminated card can suffice, but apparently the cardboard in Camp's cards is the 'perfect consistency' for joints." If you find yourself in immediate need, Camp's office is directly above the 111 Minna art gallery in San Francisco. Smoke 'em if you've got 'em. (Photo via Technology Review)
