With their first loss of the season, the Chicago Cubs are welcomed back to HipSmart, in the form of our premiere numerical counter: the Anti-Magic Number. As...
From MacSlash , this is the story of a brave man who chained five floppy drives and created a super-fast mega-floppy, capable of holding 4.22MB! That's enough...
. . . will kick ass tonight, 4 April 2003, at 10pm at the Fireside Bowl (Fullerton just west of Western). -- Posted by Erik Swedlund to music.hipsmart.com at...
I am boring. I have not had anything to blog about in weeks. Luckily, my lovely wife has stepped up, with the following email. Subject: Revolving Door...
Did a little clean-up. Not as much as needs to be done, but checked in with the Cubs number, the revolving-door number, and some links. Also added a new...
The New Black show last Friday was awesome. Their new line-up has really gelled quickly, and I look forward to seeing them again soon. I'd post this over at...
In the absence of sea serpents and winged beasts, the scariest denizens of the city are the rodents. The house next door is overflowing with rats (condemned,...
Another double-up today, and (ooh!) a new category, designed to count the number of infuriating people who inexplicably feel the need to wait for people to...
Suck It Up disappeared a few months back, but the void has been filled: R. is back with a book blog, and she's brought some friends. Including me. I've just...
While doing some research for work, I came across this website and its stunning "Pickle Fact": Americans consume over 29 billion pickles each year. If all...

Ken's archives do not work, so hurry over there to read his excellent run-down of the candidates currently runing for president in 2004. He's dug up the best...
It's a first for the revolving door double-up count: a triple-up . It's getting silly over here, like a college stuff-the-phonebooth stunt from the fourties;...
Jeez, not counting the triple-up, I've seen four more revolving door double-ups today, going to and coming from lunch. Seriously, this can't be engrossing...
OMG, my amazement at the misuse of revolving doors knows no bounds. Walking to get a soda, I witnessed a group of boisterous youths (read: hooligans) enter the...
In the wake of running into a Joe Millionaire contestant in NYC in January, we have this further proof that the casts of reality shows are not two-dimensional...

Slightly faster than my pick-up of the Olive Oyl homophone , today I realized that the Chicago MLS team name refers to the great Chicago fire of 1871 . I will...
Whither the sad Mac? The frowny Macintosh and the bomb of yesteryear have been replaced with the grey screen, the blue screen with spinning cursor, and the...
To continue my departure from swankiness, the next night I found myself at a heavy metal show in damn Alsip. So loud. It's cool that my friend Ron's band is...
Nothing makes you feel so swanky as sipping a cocktail at a hip little lounge and discussing fashion over the DJ's very loud set. Following that, nothing...
What's three things you like? If you answered baseball, Squiggy from TV's "Laverne & Shirley", and handicap accessibility, then this site is for you. David L....
No one seems to be mentioning the new version of Konfabulator that was just released. I say, go download it, boys! This is the one that's worth it--it's time...
Now that his archives seem to be working, follow Ken's whole dissertation on the Video Arcade. He's earned a Master's degree in Burger Time! Death of the...
