How to Make a Classic Mojito

Drink recipes are subjective. Experimentation is a lot of fun, and quite frankly encouraged. However, you really should know what the fuck you're doing before you go all willy nilly throwing everything in your kitchen into a glass and calling it a cocktail. This is the classic Mojito. It's damn fine on it's own. In fact, this is the only way I drink them. Once you've mastered this technique, feel free to experiment with other stuff like mangoes or pineapple or whatever. Just, please, don't call your franken-drink a Mojito.

Start Norfolk 2011 Pitch for JibeSet
My name is Claude Nix. I race sailboats, and have done extensive work as an
event organizer and race official. I love the web and have been working for
seven years to improve participation in the sport of sailboat racing through it.
Tonight, I'm excited to tell you about my dream project, JibeSet.
Traditionally, regatta information has been distributed through printed
documents and word of mouth. The web has always been an afterthought. Event
registration happens with a pen and a checkbook and a stamp. This is BULLSHIT.
Scoring is done with desktop software that is difficult to use and often out of
date. Results are posted on a board at a club and may never see a digital

understand it. It'll be passed by Congress that has not read it, signed by a president who smokes,
funded by a Treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese,

A Simple Guide to Understanding San Francisco Weather
Most places have four seasons - spring, summer, fall and winter. People will tell you that San
Francisco also has four seasons, but this is not entirely true. Sure, it might be warmer in
October than it is in April, but only by about five degrees. We're just pussies. The bottom line
is that San Francisco really only has two seasons - Winter and Not Winter.
In Winter, it rains sometimes, and is a bit chilly. Winter generally occurs some time between
December and February.
