Think a DNA scanner embedded in the lip of your bottle reading all 3 gigabytes of your base pair genetic data in a fraction of a second, fine-tuning your individual hormonal cocktail in real time using our patented Auto-Drinkā„¢ technology, and slamming a truckload of electrolytic neurotransmitter smart-drug stimulants past the blood-brain barrier to achieve maximum optimization of your soon-to-be-grateful cerebral cortex. Plus, it’s low in carbs! And with flavors ranging from Beta Carroty to Glutamate Grape, you’ll never run out of ways to quench your thirst for knowledge.

  • Advanced Bells & Whistles

    Remember back to when you first learnt how to design web sites? Remember adding all those bells & whistles? I certainly do. Why did I add them? Because it seemed cool at the time.

    The thing is… I’m still adding bells & whistles! Only now they’re more advanced bells & whistles.

    Now that I know how to use the likes of Apache’s mod_rewrite module or PHP’s include function, I find myself wanting to make everything search engine friendly or use includes left, right and centre, when I should be keeping things simple. It’s a hard habit to break. When you know you can do something extra special - even though you probably don’t really need to - you find yourself doing it anyway… because it seems cool.

    What’s worse is, these advanced bells & whistles can cause you more headaches than just keeping it simple.
