Along day, but really interesting. Had breakfast at the original McDonalds. Then went ouside and caught the hop on hop off bus - a double decker.An amazing city. the lake, the grid of streets, and what appears to be some thought- the setbacks and materials and designs make the buildings just amazing.
Got off a Millenium Park a huge open landscaped park with wonderful sculpture and huge intallations, a natural? ampitheatre with stage at one end. Enter on one side and when I reached the oth...

After leaving the HD Museum in Milwaukee, it only took us a little over an hour to reach Chicago. The thing that bugged us on this stretch of road was that we needed to stop at many toll roads just to get us through I-90 and I-94. We thought they should name a road after us for all the tolls we paid. We stopped at Tank Noodle in Chinatown after getting this recommendation from Bryan ...

Those of you who know me, know that I love, love, love thriftstore shopping and bargain hunting. I bought socks for .50 cents and a Timbuk2 bag for $3. I could sell this bag for 30 or 40 bucks on eBay. Thriftstores in big cities have such good selection.
Tough trip to plan for ....20F in Beijing and 95F in Jakarta. A lot of business meetings and not sure laundry limits. I'll be outside if trekking to the Great Wall. I'm going to be all over the place. Packed a suitcase in a suitcase in case I see something to buy for the girls/family too good to pass up.
Chicago, Illinois, United States mauro08... classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first ...
... It would be the time in our lives when our most significant emotional pillars are suffering cartilage damage. My sister’s new marriage, complete with early stressors. Alex’s budding relationship with local law enforcement. These are people we want to be here for. These are struggles we take seriously and have to turn our backs on.
In all seriousness though, I have the two best new ...
... dan de comer a esta gente aquí?
Una cena muy cuca en un italiano nos preparó para nuestra inmersión en Chicago. Teníamos entradas para el musical Spring Awakening, y allá que nos fuimos. "Flipando'd en colores", lo que, por cierto, ya se ha convertido en la frase favorita del fin de semana. Muy muy bueno, lo pasamos muy bien, y sorprendentemente fresco y atrevido para estar donde estamos. Nos sorprendió ver una cola de adolescentes a la salida esperando a sus ídolos, as ...
... missing that we realized we were not in the right place. Bri asked a lady in a shop for directions, as we were now going to be late meeting Maggie. We stupidly took her directions without double-checking them on any of our maps. Dumb woman told us to walk many, many blocks out of our way in a semicircle, and come to find out our restaurant was two streets over ...
Chicago, Illinois, United States cgibbons18... I hope, will eventually result in a job and, more importantly, in assignments around the world. I totally dig the idea of Dani the Foreign Correspondent! It is after all the reason why I got into journalism years ago, and I was looking forward to my dreams coming true. Coming out from work the other day at sunset I saw some birds flying in the purple sky, and I thought I cool must be to be able to fly like them ...
Chicago, Illinois, United States dani.boraWell, don't expect any pictures for a while. After meeting up w/ Pete and Marisa to help them move into their new place (the one I helped them move out of a year ago), we got a little rowdy. After finishing most of two bottles of Vodka, we headed out the bars at 1am. Not that I expected this to end well, but tonight went especially sucky since I managed to lose my digital camera. No luck with hoping for some kind soul to return it, so I'm shopping for gadgets again.
