Congratulations to my best man and his wife on the birth of their first child, Lukas Bridger.

I don’t like to linkblog, but if I post it in more appropriate feeds, it’s not going to reach the people I want it to.

Check out this example of a true Chicago Super Fan.

Happy birthday, Gabe!

The Chicago City Council has approved construction of the Fordham Spire (via Signal vs. Noise).

I take back what I said about it last year. I’m not totally sold on it. But it’s growing on me.

Today I received another “invoice” from Internet Corportation Listing Service. It’s now called Internet Listing Service Corp. (notice the new domain, too). The domain’s contact information isn’t in California this time.

But the best part is the address where my payment is supposed to be sent to.

207 East Ohio St. Suite #324
Chicago, IL 60611

I’d love to know what’s at that address. Would any of my Chicago friends like to help me try to bust this guy?

Colin Meloy of The Decemberists is going on a solo tour in January. The two relevent dates for my regular readers:

• 1/19 Portland, OR - Aladdin Theater
• 1/23 Chicago, IL - Park West

Mike Marusin is trying to set up a geek camp in the Chicago area. I urge the Chicago geeks who read my site to help him out.

I’m thinking this might be a good idea for Portland, as well.

The Decemberists’ show at the Metro on 10/19/05 is available at archive.org. (via Marusin)

The upcoming Wilco live album sounds really good. (via Marusin)
