Whew. Okay, I have now gone through my junior high yearbooks and will soon have a post or two on that topic. Several memories, some forgotten mysteries, and general strangeness. More on that to come. I still have four high school band yearbooks (yes, the band had its own yearbook) and my one surviving yearbrickbook […]
Didn’t we just have a (winter!) week of 50°F plus weather, culminating in two days over 60)? Oh well, that’s Chicago for you! 😮 Derek

Okay, who can do a backflip? Well, can you at least do one with the help of a trampoline? I can’t either. How about when driving a several-ton monster truck? Say what? Apparently for the first time ever this stunt has been achieved. Check out this video:
The Thursday before last, I shot all of one car at two dealers- highly unusual, so on Monday that was more than made up for by having 18 cars to do between the same two dealers. Normally this would make me quite happy, but not so much on a Monday following a snowfall. For starters,
A week ago (sadly, my most recent blog post) I blogged about a school district monitoring their students by remotely turning on the webcams of their school-issued laptops. This story has really ballooned. On one site I have been following a thread about it and many links have been posted. Here are a few- click
