A curious Slakethirst discovery: artichoke aperitif! It doesn’t taste much like artichokes, more like Campari without the citrus. If you like tasty-bitter stuff, I recommend it highly�pour it over ice.

I just noticed that WordPress automatically fixes your apostrophes to make them “smart,” curly. This unexpected typographic nicety makes me very happy.

I just installed WordPress last night counseled by Mr. Slakethirst. I already have unlimited blog potential via an old version of Movable Type (2.6.5), but WordPress seems to be a lot easier to customize, at least in terms of appearance. It took more effort getting MT up and running the first time. As of right now, I like WordPress a lot, tho’ it requires more clicks of the mouse than MT. My preference may simply stem from its novelty.
