{hint: stay with me til the end and there might be a giveaway}
I love music. But I am not at all an expert on music. And though a few times I have been told I do, I myself have never claimed to have excellent taste in music. In fact, I will easily admit that I like some pretty awful music that I throw into my “guilty pleasures” category as it is typically enjoyed only by pre-teen...

The Chicago Neighborhoods
I love Chicago (duh) and one of my favorite things about it is the unique neighborhoods. I also love typography and graphic design.
It’s been fun watching this project on the Chicago Neighborhoods unfold. He posts a couple of new neighborhoods and areas each week.
Here’s a few from the places I spend most of my time:

At The Bean for the next 10 days there is this light exhibit going on.
I saw a picture of it online and immediately knew I had to go. Convenient that my office is only two blocks away! So Friday night I took a long break from work to check it out.
If you read about it, this is described as an interactive lights and sounds exhibit. I did see a bunch of lights and some interpretive dance, but...

After One Year In Chicago: What 2011 Brought Me...
On January 8th I celebrate my One Year Chicagoversary. Kinda hard to believe it’s been one year already.
Overall 2011 turned out to be a huge year. At one point during the year I felt like my life was almost stuck on autopilot. I felt like I wasn’t doing anything new or exciting. A few good friends reminded me that life every day is an adventure. And that in many ways, mine is a...
