blogging software: WordPress 1.5 is a pleasure to use. I particularly love the settings for dealing with comment spam:

The main reason I switched from Movable Type to WordPress was due to the restrictive license changes for MT. So I switched for philosophical reasons. But now I’m enjoying the practical benefits.

sushi: On Saturday a bunch of us went to The Drunken Fish to celebrate Lori’s birthday. We had fantastic sushi. I highly recommend the sashimi appetizer and the drunken fish roll:

The Drunken Fish Roll is a large, elaborate, multilayered construction, with tempura shrimp and steamed asparagus at its center, then rice and seaweed, and an external coating of masago (crunchy bright orange fish roe) and a purplish-maroon variety of raw tuna, probably Big Eye. The fermented saltiness of miso is also in evidence by way of a “Japanese mayonnaise,” and the various flavors and textures make it quite an enjoyable adventure as you bite through the successive layers.

I don’t recommend their martinis, however. The “Drunken Martini” tasted like bubble gum and the dirty martini I had was warm, not mixed well, and hustler dirty. The great sushi made up for the bad drinks and inspired me to try to make my own.
