smart news: CommonCensus Sports Map Project
The CommonCensus Map Project is compiling data on various subjects, including their MLB map that shows an interesting outbreak of Cubs fever in the Southwest. Apparently, the brief time the Cubs spend in Mesa, Arizona, each year for spring training has managed to completely overshadow any fan support for the entire regular season schedule of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Also, the Chicago White Sox don't have any fans on the map. Good luck in the World Series, suckers!

celebrity misdemeanors
Yesterday, leaving work, I passed John Cusack riding his bike on the sidewalk. When the League of American Bicyclists named Chicago a bicycle-friendly community, they must have included the lack of ticketing from Chicago's bicycle cops (who I see all the time riding the wrong way down one-way streets and failing to heed stop signs). Safety first!

hip news: new black:time attack
New Black released their second album last week (available on iTunes), and Liz and I saw them play their release party at the Hideout--finally relieving our year-long drought of Chicago music. It was great to see our friends again, and they rawked hard-fisted. Oddly, I discovered that Liam is now living in Ohio while his wife teaches at a college only a few miles from where I was born. The hope is that we can visit them on our next trip to see my grandparents.
