I'm currently blogging from a hotel room in Chicago, where I'm visiting for a two day business trip. So wouldn't you know that during probably the only two days of the year I don't walk through Times Square, they only go and land a full size X-Wing fighter. Sigh. I asked my friend Eric to take a picture with his camphone, but until that materializes, here's a snap I pulled from Gizmodo.

Which links neatly into the announcement that the 2005 Star Wars fan film awards finalists are now online. When I get to a faster connection I'll check some of them out, although I hear that Walk in a Bamboo Bush is excellent. Oh, and this may not be new to you, but I laughed my ass off at the Scout Walker Kama Sutra.
