At Booker’s, near Ithaca, NY: The Huckleberry Finn. Dock 57 Blackberry Whiskey; muddled blackberries, orange, sugar and bitters; topped by club soda and Ginger Ale. Verdict: refreshing and summery, and very amusing: first you enjoy the lightness and fizziness at the top of the glass; as you work your way through the cocktail to the bottom of the glass, you wind up in a fun wrestle with some seriously murky fruitiness and bitterness. I’d be happy to have another.

    Cool-looking contrast between focus and blur. With warmer lighting in the background, it’d look like a shot from Wally Pfister (Christopher Nolan’s DP).

      Fun, right? My new (ish) digicam can do some fun real-camera-like things. Great with low light, and not bad at bokeh.

      The price varies widely on the camera. It’s usually $499 but I got mine for $299.
