After verifying the supply chain, I can extend stein sales until the end of the weekend and still be able to construct your stein in time for vacation. Yes, Australia & NZ, the flat rate shipping applies to you right now. BBotE, you’ve got until June 17th to order.

VACATION ALERT: June 10th Closure
Tonight, at 10pm PST, I will be suspending sales of the Steins of Science in preparation for my trip to Australia. If you want one before I go, now is the time. Otherwise, you’ll be waiting until mid-July when I turn them back on. Black Blood of the Earth…you have until the 17th for that. …

FYI: Impending Vacation Store Closure
Because of the preparation lag time, I will be turning off the ordering for BBotE on June 17th. Because of the longer lead time for the steins, I’ll be turning off ordering for those on the 10th. I will turn it all back on come July 12th when I return. So, if you want something …
My Dental Hygienist Was Impressed
On my most recent trip for a dental cleaning, I was complimented by my hygienist for the lack of stains on my teeth for a change. I told her it was because I’d more or less stopped drinking Coke since diagnosis with Type II diabetes. She was impressed as the caffeine habit was pretty hard …
Having Trouble Placing Your Order?
I’m noticing several orders for BBotE that seem to be getting hung up at the Paypal stage of the game. If you’re having issues, please drop a line through the “Contact Us” link on the homepage. That way I have an email with which to get in touch with you.
Alas, Price Increases
Despite my best efforts, I can’t hold the market forces at bay forever…

It’s getting too toasty around Funranium Labs as summer approaches. It’s time to go find some winter again…
Black Blood Of The Earth Now Available In CONUS
Alright, I have decided that sufficient testing has been done for survival of flavor in shipment. I have put BBotE available up on the store in the 1000ml size only. Though preliminary shipping tests show that the 750ml and 375ml sizes survive without bursting their lids, the locking bail top of the 1000ml bottle gives …

BBotE Now Has A Pretty Label
Behold the 1L, 750ml, and 375ml bottles in all their labeled glory! Many thanks to the artist, Erin Hall, who created the erupting Mt. Caffeination and did the much more arduous template design to make things fit on the different bottle sizes. It is important for a man to be able to admit the things …
BBotE Update: The Lost Ethiopian Post & Guatemala
For the week of April 1st, I chose to revisit an old favorite that had met with good reviews, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. Previous iterations of Yirgacheffe BBotE had been described as pleasantly earthy with peanut overtones, but this time came out different. In fact, there was a strong gender based difference in opinion on the flavor …

Coffee/Booze Update 4/10/10
I was going to try to recreate the post I made on 4/7/10 before communist fifth columnists who hate freedom destroyed it, but under the conditions of exceptional insobriety courtesy of the nice people at the St. George Distillery that’s not going to happen.
