Today's song of the day is a fun one. It's Mundian To Bach Ke by Panjabi MC. Solid stuff, right? Really, really catchy. In other non-news news, I found these two short historical documentaries on plantation life in the Southern U.S. interesting. You won't learn a whole lot but a fair amount of mid 20th...

Book Review: The Devil in the White City
If you have an interest in architecture, U.S. history, celebrity criminals, or Chicago, read this book. I couldn't put it down.
