Remember / Remember Tuesday, September 11, 2001 started out like any other day, but it quickly changed the American identity and became forever embedded in our history and our culture. We don’t need to really refresh you on the events that occurred 11 years ago today, but on the Two-for-Tuesday blogs we’re contributing, we can…

Two For Tuesday
28.08.2012 - 13:05

Every Tuesday at Our Space you can expect to find two of something —  movies, restaurants, ads, books, gif’s, animal names, pick up lines, cocktail recipes —  you just never know; we’re leaving it wide open.

It’s here.  The energy, the vibe, the crowd.  Lollapalooza has arrived in Chi-town.  Walking out to a food truck for my lunch moment reminded me that this year, again, I will miss being in the midst of the Palooza party.

We have dreamt of this moment. We have wished it, thought it and some may have even prayed for it, and ladies and gentleman, it is finally here. Talking robots that respond to complaints and act on command have been a phenomenon exclusive to the big screen and our imagination. And now, finally, after a…
