Tricks of the Trade

As aggravating as it is being a freelancer sometimes, you occasionally get certain perks. So I’m working from Nova on 2nd St., just south of the Macworld offices in San Francisco.

I just filed a story (free WiFi is great) for Wired News. Just a few minutes ago, I was offered a shot of Intrigue liqueur. A sales rep walked into the bar and was showing off some new products to the bartender. Being as I was the only one in the bar, I got a free shot of that, and then a free cocktail of it, made from OJ and cranberry juice.

Sweet. (And yes, it’s pretty good. Sort of a green fruity flavor, with a sweet taste, but not too overpowering.)
