I was browsing Ars Technica and saw that my friend Stasis is COVERING E3 this year! I know that he’s had his heart set on it for quite a while and I’m happy to see that it’s becoming a reality.
Below the fold there’s a picture of Stasis7 being too cool for school.

I had a fairly light time at work this weekend, and was able to get up to go to church this morning. It’s been too long, honestly.
I attend the Blain Avenue Church of God, and though it’s a small congregation everyone is fantastic. Rita and I have made lots of friends through the church, and they’ve all been very nice since I first met them.
I bought some cookies today, and I have to say that the Bahlsen Choco Leibniz now holds a special place in my heart. The cookie was a Biscuit of the Week over on Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down in 2003, but don’t take our word for it. Alan Bromley left a user review that sums it up nicely.
Occasionally something (or someone) comes into your life and changes it forever. Since childhood I have been content with home-grown offerings on the chocolate biscuit front - indeed, a sense of pride still wells in me as I bite into a McVitie’s Chocolate Homewheat - but during a recent browse along the biscuit section of my local Safeways I stumbled across a foreign invader which puts our meagre British offerings in the shade.
I came across this great video of a Canadian company making a Ketel One liquor luge. A luge is basically a fancy ice sculpture through which booze (normally vodka or jagermeister) is poured for a chilling effect. It’s a pretty festive way to make a martini, or to roll out a round of shots.
It’s nice to know that Ketel One is willing to provide these to bars for promotional events; I’ll probably be putting in a request for one in the upcoming year (I’ve got a couple of ideas tucked away).

Installed a magnetic knife holder in the kitchen today. They’re used in most commercial kitchens to keep knives easily accessible, but still stored securely and safely.
