It would be really neat to check out a book from every single library in Illinois via the Interlibrary Loan system. I’m curious see see how each library tags their books. Wheaton uses a giant obnoxious gold sticker on the cover with their library name in a heavy sans serif black font. Plus, it’d be …
Head over to wrigleyvillerooftops.com and their masthead will treat you to a Godzilla-sized Kosuke Fukudome creeping out of the Bud Light Bleachers of Wrigley Field with his eyes focused on someone in the upper deck, perhaps Len Kasper in the media section?

I haven’t had a favorite TV show in a while. Iron Chef was awesome before it got really big. When it became main street it was still ai-ight. MXC was hilarious for a few months, but then got old pretty quickly. For a good while Globe Trekker was my fav, but they don’t really air …

I liked saving the …

This week I bought a used Nikon FE 35mm film SLR camera on eBay for $62 (shipping included). That’s an awesome deal for an FE in great shape. I had budgeted to spend twice as much. Tomorrow’s post will have a checklist of things to look for when inspecting a used SLR camera. I checked …

What’s up with the 2008 Topps baseball card for Aramis Ramirez (shown at the very top)? I am quite puzzled by his autograph. Girlie circles to dot the “i”s? Very, very un-baseball-like. So I google imaged for more Aramis Ramirez autographs and it seems this 08 Topps card is an oddity. Perhaps the folks at …
