Perhaps you didn't notice the new item at the top of the right sidebar, but a friend from Chicago and I just started up a photo blog, "Urb/Exurb," in which we're taking turns posting shots of urban life (him) and exurban life (me). Some of the shots are responses to the previous shots, which lends a bit more interest to the enterprise. But - speaking for myself - I think his shots of Chicago and New York City are pretty damn good. Check out the blog at Urb/Exurb.
Forecast: Significant blowing and drifting, with the possibility of heavy accumulation in rural areas.
