Clearing the Slate: Dumping Links on You Guys

Posted by on
I'm either too cramped for time, or too lazy or both to write a full post, so instead, I have a bunch of stuff rattling around my brain and I'm dumping it here so I can move on to more important things like whether I'm going to get a meatball sandwich or the Italian Beef at Venice Cafe for lunch today.


  • I hate it when people on the train wear a ton of purfume/cologne. I also hate it when people smell. Sure, we all have our off days, but my goal in life scent-wise is to leave no footprint - have no smell. Shouldn't that be everyone's?

  • The best sports blog out there is Deadspin. Hands down. One of the best parts of the blog are the comments. My co-worker Matt and I were just chatting about them this morning. The best description I've ever read about the community there was written on CopyRanter: "If you have time, read the comments; his readers are both batshit insane and very entertaining. "

  • I wonder if there's a Beer-O-the-Month-Club that will send me all 25 of these beers? I've had a few of them, but I think it's a lofty goal to get all 25 down. I think you'd need like 4 of each or something, right? You'd want to share this experience with folks.

  • I've been working with the guys from AgencyNet to get the Howard TV feed fired up. I love that my job allows, ney, enourages that I pitch folks like this. Baba Booey, Baba Booey!

  • I'm kinda surprised that the 2 players for the "Good Guys" who decided or volunteered to wear Jackie Robinson's #42 jersey this weekend were Jim Thome and Alex Cintron. Seems like there would have been other guys to make that move, doesn't it?

  • The cicadas are coming, the cicadas are coming! My folks live on a very wooded lot. I remember the last time they showed up. Crazy, crazy stuff. The whole backside of our house was covered in their shells (or whatever you call it. exoskeleton?!?). I bet Maisy will have a field day and fill up her belly with these babies!

    Lou Malnati's Salad Dressing Recipe as Published in the 60's

    Earlier this winter, I wrote about the old Lou Malnati's menu and mentioned that as I was waiting around for my pie to finish up, I spied an old Chicago Tribune article posted on the wall that included the original Lou Malnati's Italian Salad Dressing Recipe.  The Tribune reporter called it "prized".  We were set to host a little pizza party over the weekend, so I figured I'd give it a shot.  Here's the article as seen through my mobile phone's camera. I'm not a wine drinker, so the fact that the recipe called for Burgundy wine didn't strike me as odd.  I went shopping at Angelo Caputos in Addison - a really incredible shopping experience - and when I got to the wine section I found Burgundy wine was carried ONLY in those HUGE jugs.  And they were dirt cheap.  The only issue is that needed just 4 ounces.  We ended up with a whole-lotta-wine that Nat won't drink. I've taken the recipe and modified it a bit by eliminating the percentage

    My father-in-law gifted me this Sears Craftsman 8-function Multimeter for Christmas and I've just gotten around to unboxing it and finding it's permanent home in my shop.  I wasn't quite sure what to do with a multimeter (or multi-meter as it is sometimes spelled), but Nat's Dad also sent along with CNET piece that explains all that this tool can do .   Here's the list: 1.  Test batteries 2.  Check extension cords 3.  Determine the life of lightbulbs 4.  Identify the 'hot' wire 5.  Find bad switches So...turns out, it wasn't all bird stuff at Christmas this year, right?!?
