i just finished a freelance redesign job last night and, i must say, i took a pretty killer picture of a fork. check out eatchicago.net, a blog about food and dining in chicago by michael morowitz. it is still a wee baby, just launched, but i am fully convinced it will become a valuable resource for foodies like me.

the bad news - lennie briscoe is leaving the cast of law & order at the end of this season.
the good news - may star in another spinoff titled "Law & Order: Trial By Jury"

Ireland's smoking ban in public places (hotels, pubs, restaurants, etc) officially went into efect today, much to patrick's dismay. His flight is scheduled to arrive in dublin this morning. and boy is he going to be pissed. but i think he will handle it just fine.
b: "you know, now that means you won't be able to spend all day at the guinness brewery"
p: "oh yes i will. guiness is more powerful than cigarettes"
Luckily, an article in the sun-times this morning confirms just as i expected: no one outside of dublin is really planning on enforcing it. at least not self respecting everyman's pub. so he should be in the clear.
