This building, one of my favorites in Chicago now houses the Burnham Hotel named after Daniel Burnham, the architect. Completed in 1890, the Reliance Building paved the way for the modern skyscraper. It was one of the first to use a steel skeleton (which allowed much larger windows than typical construction of its day). See this article for more.

This picture doesn't do it justice, but we just had to drive by and see the new building on the way back to Midway yesterday. It's shocking to see it there among all the Mies.

Saturday is my 6 month wedding anniversary. This photo was taken on the trip Rebecca and I got engaged. If you haven't heard of the IceHotel, you should definitely check it out.

Seen last night... one of my favorite bands, Giant Sand, touring to support their newest album, All Over The Map. Very good show. Check out Blue Marble Girl for a sample of Howe's solo work.

We designed the new identity for Bryant Park you see in the background on this epidode of Law & Order. We also just received an honorable mention in this non-profit design contest for our design of their web site.

Taken a little after 12:30 (about 2:20 into the marathon, just after Paula Radcliffe finished) just before the 8 mile mark. The only people left going by were walkers.
