Here’s a new one – Twitter feeds being incorporated into content. I just noticed today that the New York Times is incorporating reporter and following feed scrolls into some of their blogs. I probably don’t need to spend more time browsing, but it’s nice to have the option of checking out what’s listed and maybe [...]

A rant-free entry!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged anti-rant, bravo on August 18, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I have noticed that I’ve been ranting lately, which is explicitly against my blog goal (see “About” above.) I doubt I could ever be rant free, and I do have a platform here, but abusing it with rants is not cool. Hmm…as usual, it is harder for me to not rant than to rant. The [...]

Very sweet! The finishing touch was Patrick Kane nailing the final overtime goal! Chicago wins don’t come often enough, so we all, north and south side and burbs, will be savoring this for a loooong time. Congratulations Hawks! Great run.
Go Hawks!!

(except typing with a thumb splint…oh, well) I didn’t realize how little stuff David Letterman had dumped off the roof of the Ed Sullivan theater the past few months until he mentioned it last Thursday (I just saw the show on his website.) He then proceeded to make up for it with two of my [...]

Quentin Tarantino’s doing something that I think is really cool – he’s bought and helped restore the New Beverly movie theater in Los Angeles, which shows classic movies (I’d link to the article, but I’ve been having trouble with hyperlinking lately.) Tarantino says it’s his charity and loves that he can program a festival or [...]

They had a great win last night. It’s still pre-season, but they seem to be doing well. I hope they keep it up. We need a winning Bears team here – now!

I have suffered, moaned, groaned, and swore over the unfortunate patch of “roadway” on Harlem Avenue between Oakton Street and Dempster Street in Niles (I suspect I am not alone.) I have despised this patch over patch over patch over patch for years. Every year, I can see new asphalt patches down the street, but [...]
Classical Fourth of July…

Today is my favorite day of the year for listening to classical music. Plenty of fireworks are played. Today is Johannes Brahms’ (176) and Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s (169) birthdays. These two are definately in my top five list of favorite composers. 1812 Overture? 4 fantastic symphonies from Mr. Brahms? (they need to be played more!) [...]
An American hero…

Chesley Burnett “Sully” Sullenberger III hailed a hero in US crash landing. Ex-fighter pilot saves all on board crash plane http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/how-crash-landing-hero-pulled-off-the-incredible/2009/01/16/1231608949558.html If I had to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, I’d want this guy to be my pilot. Bravo.
