  3. I'd like to call for bipartisan consensus to stop using the suffix "-gate" for every lame scandal.
  4. Was treated to a very interesting presentation this afternoon on mobile apps from @balanon. @detroitlabs is doing some killer work.
  5. @saradixon I'm looking forward to low Earth orbit vacations in my lifetime, hopefully for less than several hundred thousand dollars.
  6. @balanon If I drilled a hole through a couple ceilings right now, I would pretty much be right next to you.
  7. Really digging the new book "Flinch" by @julien - amazing how sometimes a small realization can have such a profound impact.
  8. @joefoodie I can't help but think our USDA food pyramid, with a foundation of simple carbs/starches, is not helping that trend.
  9. It feels like a holiday here in Chicago, the streets are eerily empty. That's supposed to change this afternoon... trib.in/JJVGOp
  10. @OakParkGirl As far as I know we Green Line folks won't face the same woes Metra riders will, which is a plus.
  11. How many Chicagoans are planning on working from home to avoid NATO protests? I'll be downtown unless there's tear gas on Michigan Ave...
  12. The talented team at @edchieditorial are posting very helpful writing/editing tips and links. Loving it.
  13. So a couple of weeks ago I was wondering where to buy food-grade bugs. Now that I know, do I walk the walk? bit.ly/Jh8Opz
  14. Hey, it's just an amazing "Perfect Strangers" themed flash game. Nothing's gonna stop you now! bit.ly/IUzkWM
  15. I want someone to create an Outlook plugin that asks, "Are you sure you want to 'reply all'?" every time you click that button.
  16. The elBulli menu at @NextRestaurant was spectacular last night. Amazing meal, amazing experience.
  17. Back from a quick trip to The Bahamas. Never have I eaten so much conch.
  18. I agree we should be eating more insects in this country. thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/… (But where to buy food-grade bugs?)
  19. I think I just witnessed a party on an out of service CTA train.
  20. In China there's a craze for tattoos of English words/phrases - many of which are nonsense. tgr.ph/onNd2
