What an awesome SS I have this year. He was about to whip me something up from scratch, but apparently his computer broke that same day. Lucky me.

I don't know what he's crafting in his (no-doubt impressive) mad scientist's lair, but what he set me up with to tide me over until the new year has made me deliriously happy and has been extremely fun to play with.

It is...

drumroll

The Eat'N Tool! Finally, man doesn't have to trade-off the ability to open bottles, screw screws, and spork tasty comestibles ever again, it can do it all. It also clips handily to my belt loops and gets stern looks at airport security.

In short: greatest thing ever. I don't know if I mentioned liking it in a comment or not (probably not on reddit even... good stalking SS!) but I've had my eye on it for a long while as an item I'd like to have. It's awesome.

Thanks a ton! And I'm excited for the mysterious custom-made thing coming in 2011 too (though, really, you've done plenty!)
