Cole Francis is house hunting and concluded that: Our final synopsis is that there are many wonderful subdivisions in Naperville, including the thriving downtown area. We found both train stations in the city, including one in the heart of downtown Naperville and one farther out towards Aurora, which should give you an idea of Naperville’s…

I haven’t looked into this enough to know all the details, but it’s interesting that the Naperville library system’s announcement that it will be taking biometric info to let patrons access the Internet is on the front page of Slashdot right now. Woot.

Ed Cone reports remorsefully: “This is depressing that … the blogger in my dream is Jarvis rather than “Wonkette”:http://www.wonkette.com/.”

Time Magazine breaks the story: Dave Chappelle is neither crazy nor on crack. Time subscribers (which I’m not) can access the full magazine article here. If I were a cynic, I’d point out that this sure has created a lot of free publicity at almost precisely the same time that Season 2 of Chappelle’s show…

Man, this is just too cool. I remember when Jenny wrote about this years ago, but I’m only just getting to implementing it on my end for the Naperville library (best library in the country, six years running, thank you very much!). And guess what? It works! This is a bookmarklet (a button in your…
