I have been hanging out quite a bit in Wrigleyville these past few weeks. And I have been really getting annoyed by the amount of psuedo-japanese stuff that is floating around. The Suntimes even had an article on it in today’s paper. Numerous street vendors are selling shirts with phrases like ‘Horry Kow’, ‘Fukudome is […]

Taxi drivers in Chicago accepted a deal to add an additional dollar to everyones fare in order to balance gas prices. They feel this is unfair. I mean, come on. The average ride cannot last more than 10 mins. 5-8 rides an hour, so thats 8 dollars an additional. I am sure they only go through […]

CNN just had an article about how people are deciding to date based on their facebook relationship requests. Come on!
It is definitely a useful tool to find out if you’re friend recently found a new beau.
Welcome to the new era of love! Who needs a nice moment when you have a Sidekick?

Japan is doing it.
San Francisco and their hipsters are doing it.
Could Chicago be next?
In this NPR article, they go on to describe how hundreds of San Francisco loacations are placing bar codes for easy information access. Basically, you need a nice cell phone with a good camera, and high speed access to the internet and […]

Roeper goes on to discuss those ridiculous AT&T Harry Caray commericials. He raises some excellent points about how people have no issues with Frank Caliendo impersonating the president on a commercial but people are all up in arms about the AT&T Ad Spots.
The first time I saw the commercial it struck me as odd. I […]

So, how more times will this change before the checks actually come out? I am glad I have direct deposit, because if I didn’t my check wouldn’t come until JULY!
Sucks to have a later social security number.

I have been reading the Chicago Sun-Times for a good 15 years now.
I have never met someone more negative than sportswriter Jay Mariotti. For example, in his column today, aside from riding Moises Alou for apologizing to Bartman 4 years later, he had to throw in the jab ‘unpopular’ closer Kerry Wood.
After ONE game, he […]
One reason to despise Chicago is our horrible winters. As I trek 60 miles each way to work I must encounter at least two thousand potholes. Each day I fear of the inevitable flat tire that will happen if I keep pushing my luck.
Today on ABC 7 they had a nice article about what you […]
