The songs of the cicada 2007-06-05 07:11:00 What is that thing? That (my friends) is a cicada and right now in the Chicago area they are everywhere. There are places (such as where the pictures here were taken) that you can find up to 1.5 million of these insects per acre. (1.5 million!) Luckily for us here in northern Illinois, these cicadas are of the genus of 17 year periodical cicadas of eastern North America called magicicadas. They are often called the "seventeen-year locust", but they are not locusts.The group of cicadas that is invading right now can be further classified as brood XIII or the northern Illinois brood which emerge every 17 years to mate, lay eggs, and then (in a few weeks) die. No worries as the red-eyed insects don't sting or bite. They just buzz. It can be (however) almost deafening at times and drown out lawnmowers, motorcycles, and make it almost impossible to even have a conversation outdoors. Ravinia (an outdoor concert venue) in Highland Park has even moved the date of the Chicago Symphony Read more:songs
A new template just in time for summer 2007-06-22 23:57:00 Hey everybody out there. I just wanted to drop a note that this site will be a little bit of a work-in-progress for the next few days. I've just changed the layout of the page and attempted to streamline the coding. Right now I'm just working through some of the HTML and CSS bugs that inevitably come with a change like this.The tabs for Archives and Stuff point to dead links and the About tab brings you to the old layout. I think this new page is looking good so far. I'd love to hear your comments. Read more:template
