MxMo 32: Guilty Pleasures

October 13, 2008

Man, 32 already, huh. It seems just yesterday that MxMo was finally old enough to drink–soon, MxMo will be old enough to run for president of the U.S. Ain’t that crazy? Now, the topic of this month’s installment is … uh… Oh, that’s right, guilty pleasures. Sorry if I zoned out on you there for [...]

Last Night’s Dinner

August 31, 2008

I dunno whether anyone’s paying attention on this long holiday weekend, but my wife’s blog, Last Night’s Dinner, is down at the moment. I’m working on getting it back online, but there are mitigating factors too boring to mention that are complicating things. Jen hasn’t gone away; in fact, the site outage is an unintended [...]

Nerd!

April 23, 2008

With apologies to the folks in this eGullet thread… You know you’re a cocktail nerd when you move house, and one box contains nothing but bitters. We’re in Providence as of yesterday afternoon, but we’re still digging out. Catch up with y’all soon.

Scummy scrapers

April 6, 2008

A website that I won’t name (I don’t want them to get the traffic) has been scraping and republishing my content without my consent. I think this is reprehensible, and it’s pissing me off. The very post I put up earlier today has already been scraped and republished. The site has Google ads on it, [...]

Back to life, plus a note about reviews

October 30, 2007

My overtime period has ended at the day job, so expect regular posting to return. I’m blasting back in this week with two product reviews–one is of a liqueur and the other of a fairly new book. I don’t receive review offers often, and I don’t accept everything I am offered, so it’s fair to [...]

Spirits and cocktails ads

July 1, 2007

I think I’m the last of us to post about this, but I’ve joined the Spirits and Cocktails ad network that Darcy O’Neil and Jeffrey Morgenthaler have set up. My rationale for joining is this: I’ve never expected to get rich from this site, but I would like to bring in a little money to [...]

A Dash of Bitters in Imbibe

June 27, 2007

Just a quick pimpin’ here. The Gin Fizz picture I posted yesterday is the result of the arduous and laborious research forced upon me by the taskmasters at Imbibe, who wanted a paragraph about, and a recipe using, orange flower water. The pain I suffer for this site…I tell ya. My bit appears in the [...]

Redesign, etc.

April 24, 2007

If stuff starts looking odd around here, it’ll probably be because I’m in the middle of redesigning this site. I want to switch to a three-column layout so that the blogroll and categories are easier to access; I plan to redesign the logo (I just now noticed how much it cribs from the Imbibe logo); [...]
