I went down to my old stomping grounds, the Apple Store on Michigan Ave during my lunch break. Ward was obsessing over yet another accessory for his iBook and I bumped into some old friends. The highlight for me, however, was test driving a new iMac with the iSight camera built into the bezel. I snickered when Steve Jobs first said this but you really could spend hours playing with Photo Booth:

Fig 2. Brainiac

Fig 3. I don’t know what to do with Enlightenment

Fig 4. Apple calls it Comic Book, I call it Roy Liechtenstein

Fig 5. Freakish Cyclops…Man

Too stressful…just tell me when it’s over! Damn these World Series games…I’ve got work to do.

Go Astros.

That’s right - I’m rooting for the ‘Stros. Hometown team? National League purist? Or maybe it’s because I feel like there are too many Sox fans lacking class…

Come to find out, there is an unwritten rule which states that there is no such thing as a ‘Chicago’ fan. It’s Cubs or White Sox. Well, I think I’m sticking with the Cubs, as long as I’m in Chicago. At least I know I’m going to be in a ball park with actual fans (and not in a sea of empty seats), that I will make it out of Wrigley with my wallet and be close to a decent bar after the game.
