Two to Tango
We learned our sixth and final dance step tonight, the Argentine Tango. After my experience last week with another Latin dance, the Rumba, I wasn't exactly looking forward to the class. However, much to my surprise, I think I'd have to rate the tango as one of the more enjoyable dances we learned. In fact, if I were to rate the six dances we learned, here is what it would look like:

  1. Waltz
  2. Foxtrot
  3. Tango
  4. Salsa
  5. Swing
  6. Rumba

I think what I like most about the tango is that is has a few basic step sequences, but the dance is meant to be an improvisation. The male lead stitches step sequences together as he pleases, pretty much making it up as he goes along. The female following part is basically just along for the ride and is, by and large, just ornamentation (Kristy will like that characterization... heh). The tango is a fun dance.

Blosxom Plug-in Mods: comments
I use the comments plug-in (v0.6) on my blog. This allows visitors to contribute their snarky thoughts and feelings about my blog content. I have made considerable modifications to the original plugin, including:

  1. trap on reloads after POSTs to prevent duplicate entries
  2. e-mail comments posted back to a specified address
  3. obfuscate posted e-mail addresses
  4. better subject and title support
  5. require password to post comment

You can download my modifications to the blosxom comments plugin in the full context of the file itself, or as a patch. My cvs development log for the comments plugin is also available.
