the3six5 Chicago
Earlier this year, in the spirit of doing things I generally don't do, I agreed to contribute to the the3six5 Chicago. The project was created by Len Kendall and Daniel Honigman to chronicle a different person's experience for every day of the year and create a written snapshot of 2011.
You can check out my post here, and everybody else's posts at www.chicagonow.com/the3six5-chicago. If you're interested in contributing, the 2012 author list is being built here.
