Last night after entering my website address (this one) in an online profile, I happened to click on the finished entry only to find that Technowannabe.com was out of commission. I really can't believe I let my domain name registration lapse. Duh!

Maybe it's the fact that I spent the last two weeks in Germany and am still somewhat suffering from jet lag... or maybe it's just laziness and blog-apathy;) Nah - I'm not going to let that happen.

During the next month and a half, I'll be back and forth to Germany 3 times and moving somewhere across town here at home because my landlord sold the house.

Now... I may be a bit slow on the draw the next few weeks. But I'm NOT letting this thing die;)

Eager to jump headlong into the glorious bounty that is Chicago's food culture, I was looking for local reviews and suggestions from real people when I ran across Yelp on a web 2.0-related blog.

Yelp's tagline is: Real People. Real Reviews. This is very much what you get here. Reviews of all types of local items of interest including, restaurants, nightlife, salons, shopping, services and more are served up by an active social networking community in a very nicely done web-2.0-ish package. Look for ratings of reviews, endorsements of reviewers, personal tidbits, messaging - it really is a virtual community.

This site is so nice and covers the restaurant scene so well that I'm going to have to find something else to blog about.

And, oh yes, if you're interested: here's a link to my profile on Yelp.
