Berklie fave Chicagoist.com turned three this week and decided to do a little celebrating at Subterranean last night. As they put it though, “if you measure our age in dog years, we’re about to celebrate our 21st birthday!” Makes sense to us.
On hand to entertain (”are you not entertained?!”) were Chicago acts We Make Thunder, Sweetish and Milk At Midnight… followed up by The Hood Internet DJ’s. They all represented, but what made this Thursday night kick-off really worthwhile was the upstairs bar crew. What would Jenna drink?

Know this, however: totally untrue. Totally untrue. (Player hatin’ PC.)

Oh… good… God. This application might be could be is reserved only for nerd royalty. Winners beware, this is for losers only!
Pizza Party is a software package that allows you to order pizza directly from the Linux Command Line! And if you leave your door unlocked (you know, from the last time you actually got up and used it in 2003), you won’t even have to get up to answer it.

Wow, I thought I’d painstakingly dissected this year’s Macworld Keynote… but Actioncorp TV took it to the limit with its iPhone wrap-up: “ACTV: Hidden Details from the iPhone Keynote.” (To the limit? That reminds me: Come on fhqwhgads… Everybody to the Limit.)
