From the great people I've met to the amazing experiences I've had to the unbearably cold winds I've endured, I've had so much fun living here.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_33RdJJEpEGM/Sycp067xFrI/AAAAAAAAAHA/CYEpmmFXXOw/s1600-h/5731_716151873835_9420340_41946249_6175207_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_33RdJJEpEGM/Sycp067xFrI/AAAAAAAAAHA/CYEpmmFXXOw/s320/5731_716151873835_9420340_41946249_6175207_n.jpg" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>View from the rooftop of my apartment</i><br /></div><br />This blog will be a place where I hope to chronicle interesting places I visit, things I see, great food and wine I taste, deals I've found, random techy gizmo/gadgets/trends or ruminations.<br /><br />My roommate makes fun of me for being a social media dork. First, its part of my job. Second, it's found me great deals all the time. For instance, I came across this great Twitter page and consequently website for buying discounted gift certificates to different places in Chicago from restaurants to spas. It's called <span style="font-size: small;"><b><a href="http://www.3oclockclub.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&amp;page=shop.registration&amp;Itemid=141&amp;vm_referral=jordan32587@gmail.com">3oclockclub.com</a></b></span>.<br /><br />You sign-up for free and then every weekday at 3PM they post new deals. Thenn you go and buy really discounted gift cards. Like today, I bought a $25 gift card for The Blue Agave for only $7. They have some great places on there like Trader Vic's and Geja's Cafe and even larger gift cards. This is great for me because, as you can tell, I like to go out.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_33RdJJEpEGM/Sycsh0f3BhI/AAAAAAAAAHI/c4wN57E-CZo/s1600-h/miami.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_33RdJJEpEGM/Sycsh0f3BhI/AAAAAAAAAHI/c4wN57E-CZo/s320/miami.jpg" /></a><br /></div><br />Well I've got a long week ahead of me. I'm hoping to go out later this weekend with the girlfriend so I'll keep you posted if there are any interesting ones.
