Chicago Won’t Be the Same
The Chicago River is still recovering from last night’s Open Comments Night.

The Link Virus Epidemic
Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes. On Open Comments Night the virus got out of control. Here are some cool links that were shared:
Dr. Whoââ¬â¢s ship
The Creative Coast Blogs
Chicago Bloggers
Neave Planetarium
Smoke and Mirrors

Link Leak Virus Still Raging Today!
As you can see, I apparently brought home a strain of the virus. The links are still leaking to everyone who attended. Take a look at who’s ailing now. Oh it’s all my fault. All they did was participate and have fun. This is a cautionary tale of safe blogging.
Joe started the conversation talking about the mike in Chicago. Chris Cree brought the Klondike bars. Rod stopped by, even though it’s finals week, and Mike Samsone hung out while he waited for the next train.
Trisha wasn’t going to comment, but couldn’t resist the fun. Then along came Ben and his code-writing donkey. Cat stopped to say she couldn’t stay. Then found 200 comments in her email subscription.
Claire Tompkins gave us a lesson in taiko that was “hella fun.” Scot Herrick discussed drinking Merlot while reading about the business of beer. HART agreed that as a Canadian he really does know everyone.
Jamsi brought Liz some Australian wine.

I never did find out whether The Teacher is into the Doctor.
