Indiana Jones gets mail at the University of Chicago, not ancient artifacts stolen by Nazis
Even though it’s been quite some time that Professor Henry “Indiana” Jones would have taught at the University of Chicago, it appears that he’s still getting mail there. What could the package contain? Gold idols? Stolen ancient artifacts? Alien skulls? Not quite, but it’s still a cool find.

Watch a guy climb 103 flights of the Sears Tower on a bionic leg
Zac Vawter’s $8 million, 10-pound robotic leg has two motors that power the knee and ankle separately. As the RIC explains on its website, when Vawter pushes on the device to stand up, the leg pushes back, propelling him upward — a huge boon over a conventional prosthesis. As Vawter himself explains, ordinarily, “I have to take every step with my good foot first and sort of lift or drag the prosthetic leg up. With the bionic leg, it’s simple, I take stairs like I used to, and can even take two at a time.”

This is what happens when you post a picture of your duct taped daughter on Facebook
A 21 year old Chicago dad perhaps thought he was being clever when he posted a picture on Facebook (below) of his 22 month old daughter bound and gagged with painter’s tape after she hit him. Now, Andre Curry is behind bars for felony domestic battery charges. Who’s gonna get hit now?

Twenty four years ago yesterday: The Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion
On the evening of November 22nd, 1987, in the span of three hours, a hacker or a couple managed to hijack the broadcast signals of WGN-TV and WTTW with a barely intelligible message delivered by a guy in a Max Headroom mask in front of a piece of corrugated tin to mimic the digital background Max Headroom was usually seen in front of.

From the Guardian UK: Chicago nanny Vivian Maier died in 2009, leaving behind 100,000 negatives that no one but she had ever seen. Her work was discovered by chance, and now the photographs she took on her days off are being hailed as ‘ranking up there’ with the best in 20th-century street photography.
