Websites. Trending. And a couple things. The last subject line was supposed to be about more friends getting blogs. Russell would be the latest with The Unpaid Bar Tab. But I love that people are writing more. It's more of that information junkie in me getting my fix. And this time it's less about technology and more about the people I know, knew, or might know in the future. There's a possibility of a gossip-like site that will finally satisfy my desire for a Chicago Ultimate gossip site. So that's nice. More info for me. Makes me wonder if we'll finally get a forum, like the old Union Crew website had. But the other thing about websites, either I'm finally finding out about, or just that the trend leaders have allowed the mainstream to catch up, but it seems like a lot of, not really bleeding edge, but leading design for the web, seems to be coming out of Chicago. It's the simplicity and form over function, places like 37signals or Coudal. Also it's some professional bloggers on the Weblogs, Inc., or just more posts by bloggers. It's cool. But also kind of strange. Maybe it's just that I'm finally paying attention to location when it comes to website reading. Anyway, Darwin's was good tonight, but the ribs were a little too spicy. Still good, but spicy. Got to see Jason Tanguay for the first time in a long time.
