One of my favorite places in the city. You can’t miss the Uptown Poetry Slam on Sunday nights, created by Chicago legend (and brainchild of performance poetry) Marc Smith.

If you’re traveling to Chicago and come here, you “get it”.

Readability is one of the greatest bookmarklets I have ever came across.

Readability is a simple tool that makes reading on the Web more enjoyable by removing the clutter around what you’re reading.

So basically, you drag this little piece of JavaScript to your bookmarks bar, and when ever you come across a page with lots of text, you bang on that little button. Readability tries to find the main block of content in an article, hides everything else, then pretties up the text to a font & size you specify.

Great Idea, Great Execution
