Last call for logos

Just a reminder that if you’re working on a new Mixology Monday logo for the design contest, the deadline is today. I’ll put up the options tomorrow morning my time (probably around 9 a.m. Pacific US), so if you get it to me by then, that’s fine. There are several great candidates in the running, but there’s always room for more. See the original post for details and contact info.

Fifteen men on a … wait, how does that go?

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a big fan of rum. Today, the editors at the San Francisco Chronicle let me overindulge this interest; read my rum-fuelled babblings right here:

With bartenders and consumers exploring its many facets, the previously low-rent liquor is gaining new respect

And a word to the wise — try the Coin Toss, recipe kindly provided by Phil Ward from Death & Company.

New Look

After more than two years with the same theme, and about a year and a half of talking about changing it, I finally got my act together and spent some time working on it. I know, some bloggers switch themes every time they change their clothes, but I’m, um, especially challenged when it comes to tinkering with the innards of the site, so the fact that I got around to updating it at all is a pretty big accomplishment. Plus, I had a header graphic that I’ve been sitting on for, oh, nine months, and thought I should use it while my designer friend, Patty, is still alive.

If you’re reading this from an RSS feed and have no idea what I’m talking about, click on over and check out the main site. And if you see any problems, let me know (include what browser you’re using; not that it’ll help me fix the problem, but it will help me shift the blame elsewhere).
