Stella Artois makes you love the Internet

Remember way back in the late 90's? You were new to the Internet and it was always fun to find cool new sites that showed something new and you wanted to be the first to share it with your friends?

Stella Artois brings back the love with their just launched site that's cooler than the other side of the pillow. Pushing Flash to the limits and showcasing unique video, great interaction, and a site with an actual "feel" rather than just pomp and circumstance.

I've been working the Internet since 1992 and this site immediately has made my top 10 of all time. Maybe #1? Time will tell.

Will you risk thwarting the gods of thunder in 1366 – or take on the 9 step pouring ritual to produce the perfect virtual pint? Find out for yourself.

You may not want to look at this one at work, you'll spend tons of time enjoying it and probably get called in to the boss's office for slacking off again. What will it take to get an honest day's work out of you?

Just my opinion, of course but... see here for my reaction to this campaign. Don't get taken for a ride.

Your blog entry makes it look like they're Grifters trying to bilk me out of my lifetime savings that I use to supplement my fixed income.

Yes, they're trying to market something. If you don't like that, you may want to leave the Internet now.

I would rather support a site that shows that someone clearly put hard work and thought in to it and something cool comes out the other side.

Your own blog has advertising, I really don't see how you're above this.

Besides, I basically said that Stella Artois made a cool site. I didn't say "Stella Artois made a cool site so you should drink their beer."

It would seem that you're taking everyone for a ride with a weak attempt at trying to be controversial about something you've already approved of.

Just spotted your slightly odd reply. Sorry mate, you're way off the mark, and clearly a bit of an arrogant tosser.

Some thanks and virtual bartender

As of last week we averaged over 1,000 users per day. That's pretty damned cool. I'm surprised to see it myself considering how poor we rank on Technorati, but Performancing.com doesn't lie! In case you live under a rock, the Virtual Bartender are girls that do as you command, just like any good bartender does. They each have a huge list of commands and the most recent version has two girls. The shot pictured is them doing Star Wars. But they make out, shake ass, and many other things (no nudity, but plenty of cheesecake). They seem to do a lot of stuff except being able to make a martini. Brilliant.

Electric Martini Maker

Martini's are such a difficult concept that Waring thought they would make it easier on all of us. Okay, so I know that the reason for having this is for Coolness Value and not for the idea that you actually need a machine to mix your martini's. The Waring Pro Electric Martini Maker can take your concoction and do the tedious work of mixing it by either stirring or shaking, depending on which button you press. Remember kids, stir gin, shake vodka. The on light even has a green olive on it. But what if I want a twist?

Bluecoat Gin Review

The bottle of Bluecoat Gin arrived the other day and I ripped in to it with vigor. My newfound love for Gin has become boundless and when I get a new one I put it ahead of the line of all the other stuff that I still need to try and review. I was like a kid on Christmas Day, however I was heavily medicated and had to patiently bide my time until I was no longer popping pills in order to try it out lest my liver implode leaving a dark, black hole in my innards of Mickey Mantle proportions. How's it look? The bottle comes pretty much as advertised. It's a simple blue bottle with Bluecoat on it and a coat of arms. The cap is an easy-to-pull cork that did not make me do any sort of contortion in order to get it open. Thank you Bluecoat Gin! What's it smell like? One word: OhMyGod. This is far and away the best smelling gin I have ever put my nostrils to. The juniper and floral notes were amazing and did not take any time to get used to. Most gins require two whiffs: One...
