I pre-ordered an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station on February 6. It didn’t ship until very early this morning. Apple let me know when I placed my order that it would ship by February 28. So, what’s the problem you might ask? Well, Apple said “ship by February 28″. That means it was within the [...]
Rick Kogan from the Chicago Tribune was on Eight Forty-Eight this morning. He provided some excellent insight into Chicago’s aldermen.

But it’s hard for Ms. Haithcock to run away from what should be the major issue in the race: the stunning amount of campaign cash she’s accepted from developers whose projects an all-powerful alderman such as herself can block or bless. In the first half of last year, for instance, better than 60% of the [...]
Check out the Cinematical review of No End in Sight.
Everyone at the SuperBowl party I was at agreed that the best part of the entire SuperBowl was the halftime show. Prince put on quite a performance.
