Fun stuff. Read about it in New York Magazine’s Daily Intelligencer from yesterday. Big ups to the 92nd Street YMCA. They always manage to get good speakers up there. [ READ MORE ]
It’s about time we heard from the other side of the table. Those who would be directly affected by the Chicago 2016 Olympic games are finally starting to weigh in. I just read a refreshingly candid editorial in yesterday’s Chicago Defender, written by managing editor Glenn Reedus. He writes: “Some of the residents of Washington Park and [ READ MORE ]
Ahh, the source of my blog-related inspiration over the last couple of days. John Chow, a British Columbia-based Web marketer, is the bee’s knees on the Web. His site offers tons of advice to beginning bloggers – like me – on blog etiquette and Web marketing, which is something any good blogger does. Here’s [ READ MORE ]

I’m not usually a Mike Jones fan, but I had to link you all to this, given where the beat is sampled from. [ READ MORE ]
A few days ago, I posted the music video for T.I.’s latest single, “Big Things Poppin.” Here’s a hot remix over that beat, performed by Fabolous, Cassidy and Swizz Beatz: Fabolous has been doing his thing lately, and he’s set to drop his new album, “From Nothin to Somethin,” on June 12.

Congratulations to Eric Ferkenhoff and Matt Bigelow for their Time.com piece. (Ferk is a professor at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and Bigs is a classmate of mine.) The piece addresses an interesting question: Can Mayor Richard M. Daley make true on his pledge to end homelessness in Chicago by 2012? If [ READ MORE ]
Here you go. I finally broke the 1,000 mark for the first month of DanielHonigman.com! If not for you folks, my readers, I wouldn’t have reached this plateau, nor would I continue to blog. Thanks to my buddy Tim Spangler for sending me some traffic. Hopefully I’m sending him some as well. [ READ MORE ]
