There is a guy that rides the train every morning that has a segway and literally parks it at the station chained up and leaves it there. It hasn’t been stolen yet either. I don’t know what he does for a living but he loves his gadgets. I ended up sitting next to him this […]
I have been looking at the New Movies being released in the next month and it looks like there will be a lot to see over the Christmas holiday break. A lot of big blockbuster movies will be out and hopefully everyone will have more free time around the holidays to go out and see […]
New Year’s Eve 2008 in Chicago will be a huge event. We have a lot of holidays around religious beliefs and history but New Year’s Eve is just about fun and nothing else.

I have been writing this blog since this summer and it is time for a little check in as far as how it’s doing. I have to say that I am hosting the URL and working with wordpress software in a self hosted situation for the first time. It has been a huge learning experience […]

As a change of pace from all the shopping and the food this holiday season why not consume some comedy instead? A great show is happening this December at the Donny’s Skybox theater in Piper’s alley on North Ave and Wells St in Chicago. If you haven’t been over to Second City for their student or […]
