Big U? Never heard of it - what is that/about? Forgot about Zodiac - never read it, but I (mistakenly) thought that was after Snow Crash.

Since you guys are off topic already....

I might be making a trip up to that area in the near future to visit family (Milwaukee and Elgin) but while I'm there I'd like to race or do a ride. Are any of you guys riding the Tour Da Chicago series? I lived in Chicago for a year when I was 9 but I'm not too familiar with the streets (I was only 9) and would like to ride with someone who knows the city.

Hell, we all know something and I am sure we could all chip in and buy you a beer or share whiskey (or home made Kaluha)

Big U is about college life at a huge generic university - I found the etext online and I'm somewhere in the middle of it. It was out of print for a long time, and was recently re-published. Its not terrible, it's good writing, not technologically oriented like his other books were.
Zodiac is worth checking out, if you want to borrow my copy let me know.

Has anybody thought of the rain we may be having on Sunday? What then?

PS. Why meet at mine? Why not just meet at Yojimbo's? Let's do that. More central.

As for rain - how bad is it going to be?

It now says "thunderstorms likely." Where the F did winter go?
