same person?[edit]

This article says that this Robert Hess is an Apple evangelist. Robert Hess (MacWEEK editor) says that he was. Are they the same person? Bubba73 (talk), 01:38, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This guy is a Microsoft evangelist. -- BlastOButter42 ^See Hear _Speak 02:29, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From the horses mouth (so to speak)[edit]

(hopefully, this is the correct way to provide this...)

As the source of this article, I'd like to provide some corrections and additional information that can be used or ignored as anybody sees fit...

Mutineer Magazine is defunct as far as I know, which means I am no longer writing for them.

The Museum of the American Cocktail is in New Orleans. Originally it was located on the second floor of the Pharmacy Museum there, but right after Katrina hit, we moved it to be part of the Commander's Palace restaurant in Las Vegas, and then came back to New Orleans to be part of the Southern Food and Beverage Museum.

One (perhaps notable) reference to mention and include would be http://imbibemagazine.com/25-Most-Influential-Cocktail-Personalities/ where Imbibe magazine identifies 25 of the most influential cocktail personalities of the last 100 years. I would suspect that everybody on this list might deserve a page

I'm not sure if there is a strong journalistic reference to this, but one of the things I provided that helped to jump-start the craft cocktail movement, was that around 1998 I started an online discussion forum using "MSN Groups" which included virtually all of the folks who are now considered to be "influentials" in the craft cocktail movement. Here we discussed cocktail origins, proper recipes, how to find ingredients, technique, etc.

There are several references regarding me in Robert Simonson's book "A Proper Drink: The Untold Story of How a Band of Bartenders Saved the Civilized Drinking World"

My "Trident" cocktail is considered a "Modern Classic", and is provided in the previously mentioned book by Robert Simonson, as well as several other sources. The Zig Zag Café in Seattle had it on their menu for many years, and because of it went through more Cynar than any other bar in the state. (unfortunately, I don't have any references to cite for that).
