So this is the page that I had intended to post for the root of whatistodaysvegetable.com, but when it came time I just couldn’t do it. I really wanted to keep a bite-sized little bit right up front like the original burrito site, but the usability horror of it — that damned usability — just seemed too great. I wish someone would convince me otherwise…
“‘Because, my friend Yeste, you are very famous and very rich, and so you should be, because you make wonderful weapons (things.) But you must also make them for any fool who happens along. I am poor, and no one knows me in all the world except you and Inigo, but I do not have to suffer fools.’
‘You are an artist,’ Yeste said.
‘No. Not yet. A craftsman only. But I dream to be an artist. I pray that someday, if I work with enough care, if I am very very lucky, I will make a weapon (thing) that is a work of art. Call me an artist then, and I will answer.’”

“Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!”
I’d like to thank WordPress for being so welcoming, but I mourn the loss of my favorite euphamism. Now when I say “Sorry I missed your call, I was posting to my blog” I’ll do so with a straight face, and never as a replacement for “I was in the bathroom.”
