25 February 2014: This Just In: Winter Will Never End

15 February 2014: A Chill in the Air

I took these pictures of the snow on the UIC campus yesterday. Everything looks so quiet and peaceful that it's hard to believe that in the coming week we will be walking the picket line. UIC United Faculty (UICUF) will be staging a two-day walk out, with the possibility of a longer strike on the horizon.

11 February 2014: The Digital Frontier … with Snow

I'm a little under the weather today and won't be venturing out into the frozen wasteland formerly known as Chicago. Fortunately, i had an extra picture from the weekend that i hadn't posted yet. 

I've taken a lot of pictures of this mural, "The Digital Frontier" by Doze Green, 
on the 6900 block of N. Glenwood, going back to when it was first painted in 2012. 
But like everything else this winter, it looks very different half-buried in the snow.
