We have a new logo, in case you haven’t seen it:

We decided to make it possible to get a groovy new t-shirt, hat, mug, and some other flair with our logo on it. There is certainly no shortage of cool chilehead-themed t-shirts and other apparel out there, [...]

It’s been a couple of days, but we have indeed returned from our Caribbean adventure on the “Spice of Life” cruise with our fellow chileheads. We will write more in the next few days, as we are still a little wiped out from the travel. Above you can see some of the swag [...]

As many of you know, we have had a long-standing relationship with Chile Pepper Magazine. Besides being subscribers for about twelve years in which we’ve saved our magazines like some men save their Playboy issues, we have also been contributors on an increasing basis.

That said, we have offered the job of editor to Passow for this blog, and he has accepted. With his elevation of title from author to editor, Passow now has the [...]
