CTA bus crash on corner of Granville, Sheridan intersection
2009-10-10 09:09:00 CTA bus crash on the corner of Sheridan and Granville Driving home around 1:52 a.m., on Saturday morning, Oct. 10, by the intersection of Granville and Sheridan, I saw a CTA bus (number 1855) that had apparently crashed into the fence of what looks like Sacred Heart Schools located at 6250 N. Sheridan Rd., a few blocks away from the Granville Red Line Station. There was no ambulance around, and the bus was dark. Two police cars were on sight. Right now, it is unclear whether passengers were aboard the bus when the crash happened. The driver was nowhere in sight. More information to come....
Wednesday Random Song: "Brighten the Corner Where You Are"
2009-09-16 23:41:00 Ina Duley Ogdon was a Midwestern wife and mother and Sunday School teacher during the early 20th century. Ogdon had ambitions of becoming a preacher but family responsibilities intervened. Her poem "Brighten the Corner Where You Are" was written in 1912 while she was caring for her sick father. Set to music by Charles H. Gabriel, the tune became a nationwide hit after evangelist Billy Sunday made it a staple of his revival meetings. I first heard it this week on Enlighten 34, the Southern gospel station on XM Radio, in a lively rendition by The Statesmen which I wasn't able to find on YouTube. (It's featured on this album.) Instead, enjoy this old-school version by the Criterion Quartet: This interesting 10-minute video tells the story of Ina's life and the inspiration for the song, as well as its subsequent cultural reception. 1. Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do, Do not wait to shed your light afar; To the many duties ever near you now b...

The Streetcar Turns a Corner
2009-07-21 07:00:00 When the American automobile arrived on the transportation scene at the turn of the twentieth century, the electric trolley still dominated the urban and interurban landscape. The electric trolley's heyday lasted from 1890 to around 1930, but urban ridership in the U.S. peaked in 1923 with 12,
Twittorati, At The Corner of Blogo & Twitter
2009-07-09 15:50:00 Do you know any bloggers of authority? Bloggers who are distinguished not only by how popular their sites are, but also how often other sites link to their blogs. Those that know TMZ, Gawker and the Huffington Post know that the top blogs of the world have slowly stolen the spotlight away from newspapers and mainstream media in general. Those that know Twitter know how important real-time updates have become. Now with the unveiling of Technorati's new service, one can traverse the terrain where the blogosphere crosses the Twittersphere, at an intersection called Twittorati.

2009-06-08 17:16:00 No matter how much you beg and plead, Internet, I just cannot seem to force myself to refer to midgets as “little people.” Because I find it’s only half-true. So I went to the Babies’r’us this weekend to buy a gift for a friend, and after printing their registry list and walking around the store, looking at tiny little shoes and tiny little hats and tiny little blankets with teddy bears on them, something came over me and I never thought it would but I’ll be damned if it didn’t. I want a baby. So I bought one. And I know you’re thinking that’s a pretty major purchase for me to have made so nonchalantly and all spur-of-the-moment like. But don’t you go worrying your pretty little head, Internet. It was on clearance. Asian female. Overstock, I suppose, but I don’t care because hey, free mani/pedis for life. And hopefully some day, she’ll grow to love me. For a long time. Right? Right. Know what else I love a...
In Las Vegas, there's an Elvis on every corner.
2009-04-22 15:19:00 When we went to Las Vegas five years ago, we stayed at the "Treasure Island" hotel -- a hotel we picked out because it was supposed to be pirate-themed. As it turns out, the "pirate theme" was only really expressed in the gift shop -- and not much there, even.I don't know what I expected. Pirate bellhops? Well, yes. I expected Pirate bellhops. Because why call it "Treasure Island" if I'm not going to feel like I'm on an island with pirates. An island that also has a bunch of people at slot machines, true, but an island.It's not as though they COULDN'T do a whole theme, after all. The Treasure Island is right across from my favorite hotel in Vegas, The Venetian. Talk about a theme: The Venetian's theme is "Venice," and they WORK that theme. The casino outside and in looks like what I'd imagine a building or buildings in Venice look like, all old-world construction and arches and fountains, and then when you get inside, there's a mall and restaurants with canals righ...

The Corner And The Key
2009-02-22 17:05:00 כ"ח שבט תשס"טImbolgen 28This past shabbat morning (parshat Mishpatim) I woke up to find a light snow had finely blanketed the ground. Cold outside but toasty inside, I pulled my cover shawl further up onto my shoulders over my white flannel poet's gown, got a glass of juice, and entered cozily into the day.Early this Sunday morning, I dreamt a dream of heavy snow covering the ground outside.The heavy snowdrifts in the dream were a few feet high. It was evening nighttime outside. In the dream, my 'husband' and his friend were preparing to take our three kids and his friend's three kids snowmobiling in it. (None of the people in this dream are from my real ordinary life.) The kids had alot of high-octane energy in them, and I needed to reorganize things in the house from all their playing together. So, I bundled them all up and off they went to joyride among the snowdrifts with the two dads. The littlest child - my daughter, about a year or two old - I had bundled up espe...

Within you Without you: Happiness is just around the Corner
2009-02-21 02:57:00 What constitutes happiness? It often turns out that due to our materialistic way of life and thought happiness is located outside of the self. We claim that we have been dealt bad cards but if certain circumstances were to change, we would find true happiness. If only we could meet that perfect mate, we would be happy for all time. If only we had a better-paying and more satisfying job, we would ask for nothing else in this life. If only we were rich and famous, all our problems would fade away.Happiness may be visible but it happens to be just out of reach. It is the tip of the iceberg on a wide open sea. It is the apple dangling in front of the eyes of the donkey and whenever the donkey moves, so does the apple. In fact, most of us have a similar outlook on our religious and spiritual life, a kind of glass-ceiling effect where God is located outside, out there, up there, in the canvass of open skies.Others claim to have had a vision of being ?touched? by God or a spiritual entity....

The Triangular Corner Storage.
2008-11-13 17:16:00 The Triangular Corner Storage. A smart idea that gives tangible solutions for a less storage space, for those living in small areas. The triangular corner storage can be fixed in any corner of your room or even multiple units can be used depending upon the requirement which can maximize and make the best use of the corners. It is designed by designer Cristina Toledo which was shown at the exhibition 'The Inhabitable Space'. The idea beautifully makes use of the corners of the room, which mostly aren't taken into consideration, and creates storage space.Other Posts:Rolling Bridge.Packaging Lamp.Urban Cup Holder.Green wall - Indoor Landscaping.The Big Picture - World's Largest Photomosaic.

2008-09-13 20:12:00 The Fans Corner#2-The PSL CommentaryBy Willie ?The Pizzaman? Mariano for Football Reporters Online As another opening day approached for my football team. The only football team I have faithfully rooted for since my birth. Check that, since the womb. Whether it be the two and twelve seasons of my youth gone bye. (and there were more of those then I care to remember) or as defending Super Bowl Champions yet again. (The third in my 46 years) I found myself missing something. I had a feeling that I have never experienced in my life. You have to understand one thing folks. My Dad, like almost all Big Blue diehards has had season tickets for years and years. Dear ol' dad since 1954. My brother and myself, since 1976.That is five decades and three decades respectively, and then some that we have bled blue. It was taught to us right along side of always being proud to be an Italian American or a God fearing man who is morally sound and respectful to all of mankind. Like bathing. Like eati...

UNIX Admin Corner and the IT Island
2008-07-15 20:35:00 I thought James Dickens of UNIX Admin Corner wrote a short but interesting post a few days ago. His post was titled "Why is IT such an Island." It was something to ponder regarding the rapidly growing IT community. Personally, I share a similar opinion with Mr. Dickens and felt it was a fair portrayal of the IT community.Here is an excerpt of his post: "Seems like everywhere I go, people in IT act like they are on an island, they don't attend user groups, Geek/Techy relationships I have with others seem to be rare, they don't visit or much less hang out on irc (.i.e. freenode) most don't follow blogs...Read more plus comments"I know sites like UNIX Forums are great places to get your tech-related questions answered or simply share your knowledge, but where are the social sites geared to the hard-core UNIX/Technical community. I think it would be beneficial if we had a mybloglog or blogcatalog type site that primarily focused on connecting techies.Presumably some would say large ...

Chaos at Shorty's Corner
2008-06-26 21:17:00 A few days ago, I was on my way down the mountain towards the gateway town of Sandy. I planned on stopping into Shorty's Corner for an oh-so-yummy-but-so-unhealthy BBQ burrito - but after seeing the swarms of police and emergency vehicles in the parking lot, and officers gathered around a small reddish truck, I decided to press on, and get something in Sandy.I stopped for gas at Arco, (their gasoline is not produced from products purchased in the middle east, and their prices are lowest on the mountain - still.) and then at Sparky's for a pizza. As I sat waiting for the pizza to bake, a few more emergency vehicles and police cars flew by, and I was imagining the worst.On my way back up the mountain, I realized we had nothing to drink with the pizza, and pulled into Shorty's parking lot. I must have a severe short-term memory issue, because I seemed to have forgotten about the commotion on my way down. But it seemed to have calmed down a little, and I went in anyway.While in line,...
