1. The Chicago Blogmap has moved. For the last year or so it's been located in a subdirectory here at locussolus, but while I was changing my hosting this weekend I decided to pay the $8 to actually get chicagoblogmap.com. The blogmap has been a big success, with 228 blogs listed so far (far short of what you'll find at Chicago Bloggers, but that site includes Chicago's suburbs). Anyway, if you have a link, please update it, and if you don't, well, you probably need to set one up!
2. If my directory of Chicago blogs isn't enough for you, there's a nice piece over at Gapers Block that can introduce you to some of the home grown political blogging here in Chicago -- although I have to wonder about the claim that "no other state has quite the breadth or depth of local political blogging, especially with the sort of laser-like focus and deep knowledge of the political system, its players, and its history."
3. And if you're a Bulls fan or ever were, this extensive article takes in the panorama of Bulls missteps after the departure of Michael Jordan and tries to explain what went wrong. By the way, I find it incredible that the Bulls are actually going with the marketing slogan "through thick and thin." I don't know if the strategy is to draw attention to their biggest weakness (ie the miserable "team") but if so it's working... [via Chicagoist]
