Tilt shift effect without a fancy lens or... →

40% off at Nau →
I’m a huge fan of Nau’s eco-friendly apparel, but their prices skew a bit high for my taste. If there was ever a time to pick up something Nau (pun intended) then type OTGSPECIAL upon checkout to get 40% off (until Feb 1).

Groupon →
Reap the power of group purchases for the individual. Loads of discounts of Chicago-based restaurants, services, event tickets, etc. You only pay when the full offer tips over the minimum group. Today’s discount is a $50 gift certificate to a great Italian restaurant in Old Town for $20. Tasty…

Chicago Anytime Assistants →
Now you too can have a Chicago-based personal assistance at $35/hour. Walk your dog, pick up dry cleaning or wait for the oh-so-ever late Comcast guy. Can I just call it an internship and get “assistance” for free?

The thing about goals
superamit: Having goals is a pain in the neck. If you don’t have a goal (a corporate goal, a market share goal, a personal career goal, an athletic goal…) then you can just do your best.

Essential Mix of the Year: Flying Lotus →
Get ready for 2 hours of totally forward-thinking beats from an American treasure. I in no way hide my ridiculous admiration for Flying Lotus (great nephew to THE Alice Coltrane). The BBC streaming player expires in 1 day so grab the full mp3 from the interweb.
