Cubs Action Illustration: Albert Almora. - Cubby-Blue
My morning commute crosses paths with yours. I work at the Chicago Tribune (technically Tribune Content Agency). I walk from Ogilvie Transportation Center eastbound into the Prudential Building, and then up to the Chicago Tribune floors. Since we moved in this April, I'm finding the building to be a lot of fun. The Score live-broadcasting the Cubs postseason rally in the lobby this year was fun. I got Sandberg's autograph on a printout of game 7 World Series scorecard. 🙂

Christmas projection lights, your thoughts? - Spudart
Can’t they do 3d holograms now? I want a 3d hologram show in my front yard of the Solar System. What’s that go to do with Christmas? Maybe Santa Claus would be flying around the Solar System in his sleigh.

Moon rock that looks like chocolate chip cookie batter - Spudart
You’d be right on the center of the Chocolate Chip City. I’d like to be on the off-center of the chip. Right now I’m on a crumb outside the chip.

How high does that stack of brownies go? Does it reach up to the top of the Willis Tower? I'd be willing to have a stack of brownies the height of the Tribune Tower, thank you.

I want to live in that pretzel house. I've always wanted to live in a pretzel house. Home of baked bread and salt. Where it rains mustard, and occasionally hummus.

These cookies look DELICIOUS. @delightfulpastries please keep up your great work. And, are these snowmen wearing Napolean hats? Is this in honor of the Russian Campaign (or as it's known in Russia, "Patriotic War of 1812"). Perhaps on December 14th, we can remember this turning point in the Napoleonic Wars.

Sweet branding! Did IWU end up using any of your designs? I hope so, but I understand if it was just for a concept project.

I'm kinda jealous of this guy's plastic bag collection - Spudart
The nostalgia would be the reason why I would consider collecting. But I have enough stuff already. Hmmm, I wonder how one would store the plastic bags in a plastic bag collection. Would you store them in… a plastic bag? Hahaha. Seriously though. Maybe a collector would have 8.5×11 cardboard, and then wrap the plastic bag around the cardboard. Then slide that into a page protector. All the plastic bags could be viewed in a three-ring binder. OH MAN. THIS IS TEMPTING NOW!

Susie Trexler on Instagram: “Frank Gehry or play structure? (BP Pedestrian Bridge, built 2004)”
Oh wow! Kids use the Gehry bridge as a slide? I've only been by this bridge a few times, and I never saw anyone climb it. I would think the edges might get caught on someone's pants.

Not the Tiffany Dome - Spudart
Kinda amusing that my panoramic photo captured the details much better of the ceiling. The straight-on shot is rather dull. I suppose that is what makes this series even more amusing.

Volute is related to the word revolve - Spudart
Their pronunciation key here is nice. My Chicago accent wanted to pronounce it VAH-loot. Instead it's vuh-LOOT. Sounds much more European.

How to Create a Custom RSS Feed Summary with Featured Image
Would it be possible to keep my blog's default RSS feed to be full-text, but then have this plug-in create an alternate feed that uses excerpts?

Creating Custom RSS Feeds in WordPress - The Right Way - Philip Newcomer
I love how your code here doesn't create additional maintenance burden. Wonderful! I see it also uses the (Settings > Reading) to display the full content, or only the excerpt in the feed. I would like to have my default feed use the full content. But this custom feed to use only the excerpt. How would I be able to do that?

New Flickr photo limit misses the point of their core value: being an archive - Spudart
I don’t know the economics of hosting a bajillion photos. But certainly Google has found out that they like to host photos, because more photos means more data to mine. Too bad SmugMug hasn’t figured out how Google does it.

I love photographing with my iPhone macro lens (10x) - Spudart
Rather amusing that the last photo in the collage is empty. It's almost like I got so close up to the subject, that it turned completely white.

When you want to go to the art museum, but have to grocery shopping instead - Spudart
I had a couple different ledes on this silly story: * Today I found Andy Warhol at Mariano's. * Mariano's doesn't realize it, but they are one of those trendy Instagrammable pop-ups museums. * The Art Institute doesn't have much to say about carrying Salted Caramel Crunch®. All of them felt too click-baity, so I didn't use them.

Ryne Sandberg enjoyed looking at my World Series scorecards - 57 hits
A couple days ago I was showing my cousin Peter the area where Sandberg was waiting. We walked under the escalators. You know what we discovered? It's BATHROOMS! Hahaha. That makes sense. Ryno was using the bathroom before going on air.

Only 8 guerilla art videos on Youtube in the past year - Spudart
Given that there are only a few results for “guerilla art” on Youtube, I’d like to use RSS to follow any new results. I thought Youtube had a fancy thing where you can add a string of text to the end of any search URL, and it converts to RSS. But I guess I was thinking of eBay. So instead I’m using Google Alerts’ RSS to follow this search in Youtube. Maybe there’s another method.
