Really cool that you built this from scratch for so many major cities! I am located in Chicago but browsed SF and the list returned there looked like a logical categorization of events & things to do. Re: your question of whether to pur

They've been separate entities for years. The Onion under Univision became more of a digital production house. Editorial staff was always distinct. I presume that the handful of people leaving are writers, and they'll need to staf

Really neat application of the data. I'm the Director of Marketing at a mid-sized destination marketing organization (DMO) represented on your map (Aurora, Illinois -- we're actually a terrific place to visit in winter!). Curiou

Wouldn't be so certain about blizzards. Warming increases the amount of moisture in the atmosphere during the cold months, producing more blizzards. My only fear about living in the Great Lakes is that we may end up snowed under before

Closing up shop as a marketing strategy is interesting as a high-risk/high-reward last ditch effort. If under a particular set of circumstances, the most viable path to attracting eyeballs is to go under, it could be really effective t

You can also let dandelions grow rather than kill them off with weedkiller. When dandelions are in bloom they attract and sustain many types of bees and other insects. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/gardening-b

Thanks for the insights. Sounds like a fair procedure. Curious to hear more about what you found cool about their communication methods. I've been thinking about this a lot as I'm surprised how inefficient a lot of Big Corp commun

Don't want to give you a false sense of optimism on this, but an article I recall reading last year speculated that Fiber penetration in Chicago could begin outside the city and work its way downtown, rather than the other way around.

I'd assumed that cities like Chicago with relatively old/dense/complex infrastructure would pose a tremendous challenge to a project like Google Fiber. Happy to have assumed incorrectly, but it does seem a significant jump fr

From the article: "Even if one of the parties is dishonest and deviates from the protocol, that person cannot learn anything more than if x = y."

Yeah, this was a poorly constructed article. Lost me at: "To talk about Stewart’s theory, you have to first tackle the ideas of the 20th-century philosopher of media, Walter J. Ong." No, you really don't. That said, Twitter&#

As a consumer, I'll engage with popovers if it's content or a publisher I'm especially interested in reading more about. An example of this might be - let's say I already donate to or am active with an organization, and

An indirectly related fixation that bugs me every time I see a Facebook link is this: why are notes, events, etc. appended with a string of digits? Shouldn't the URL here be simply: https://www.facebook.com/notes/k
