By Steve Rhodes
I hoped to have Show Notes ready for this post, but I don’t. And it’s a lot rougher than even I expected – we had issues in post-production, meaning the rough spots didn’t get smoothed out. And the levels and stuff. Still, you can see what we’re trying to do here.

Beachwood Photo Booth: Specials
(Introducing Chicago’s Central Operating System
By Ubisoft
Set in Chicago, where a central network of computers connects everyone and everything, Watch_Dogs explores the impact of technology within our society. Using the city as your weapon, you will embark on a personal mission to inflict your own brand of justice.
Chicago’s overarching network is known as the Central Operating System (ctOS), and it controls almost all of the city’s technology and information – including key data on all of the city’s residents.
You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and former thug, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. While seeking justice for those events, you’ll monitor and hack those around you by manipulating the ctOS from the palm of your hand. You’ll access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy . . . and more.

Urging its residents to be car care aware and perform the service necessary to ensure their vehicles are operating in a safe, efficient and clean manner, Governor Pat Quinn has declared April as Car Care Month in Illinois.
“We want to thank Gov. Quinn for officially declaring April as Car Care Month in Illinois,” said Rich White, executive director of the Car Care Council.
“Car Care Month provides a unique opportunity for the auto care industry and government to educate car owners on the importance of proper vehicle care. Motor vehicle safety continues to be a major focus for state legislatures and regulatory agencies across the country, so we commend Governor Quinn for making this important proclamation.”
