If you want Chicago-related news/announcements/weirdness my site, The Windy Citizen is (finally) starting to take off. http://www.windycitizen.com

There's not much tech on there yet, but there could be if local guys shared their stuff on there.

As far as I know we're the only local, social news site out there. Kevin Rose himself told me it was a lousy idea. I'm intent on proving him wrong.
