The Kennedy, also known as I-190, I-90 and I-94, runs between the Jane Byrne Interchange and O’hare Airport.

The Jane Byrne Interchange is the crosspoint where the Dan Ryan, the Kennedy and the Eisenhower Expressways, along with Ida B. Wells Drive meet in the heart of downtown Chicago.

The Eisenhower Expressway, or I-290, runs from Route 83 to the Jane Byrne Interchange. It’s also affectionately called “The Ike”.

The Stevenson Expressway/I-55 runs from County Line Road to Lake Shore Drive.

I-94 and I-90 are known as the Dan Ryan Expressway, and it runs between the Jane Byrne Interchange and the I-57/Bishop Ford split.

Now when it comes to the Bishop Ford Freeway, on a map it’s I-94 and it runs between I-80 and the Dan Ryan.

The Tri-state Tollway gives drivers access to all Chicago expressways except for I-355. On a map, this busy roadway is made up of I-94, I-294 and I-80.

The Jane Addams Memorial Tollway is a section of I-90 stretching from O’Hare to the greater Rockford area.

Veterans Memorial Tollway is also known as I-355. It runs through the western suburbs and connects to I-80, I-55, I-290 and I-88.

And speaking of I-88, it’s also known as the Ronald Reagan Memorial Tollway and stretches from the I-290/I-294 interchange to I-80 near East Moline.

Lastly, there’s the Elgin O’Hare Expressway, or I-390. This nearly ten mile stretch of roadway connects U.S. Route 20 in Hanover Park to Thorndale Avenue and Illinois Route 83 in Wood Dale.

Tired of human interaction? Meet BRILLO, the robotic bartender!

Italian scientists made a bartender that knows what you drink you love and it will even have a little conversation with you too. The robot’s name is BRILLO, and will not only make your drink just the way you like it, it will memorize your speech patterns to tell if you actually want to interact or just sit there and drink. BRILLO is even dressed like a real bartender to make him “personable.” Is this what to expect in the future?

Website tracks emoji usage in real, seizure-inducing time

When you are at work and absolutely, positively need to find an activity to waste time, try this place out. But only if you aren’t susceptible to seizures (seriously, they put a warning on it before you can proceed).

Bad Neighbor- a man defecated on his neighbor’s property… find out where!

A.I. analyzes, then writes a new Nirvana song

Do you ever wonder what Kurt Cobain and Nirvana would be like today if he were still with us?

Artificial intelligence did.  (Well, SOMEONE did) and then had computers study ever ounce of music the band did over the years and then come up with something similar.  The end result was a song that reasonably sounds like it could be from Nirvana.  The only thing that you will hear below that isn’t A.I. is the vocals — they had a cover band singer do THAT.

This was all done as part of a project called The Lost Tapes Of The 27 Club, which Rolling Stone can fill you in on.  — [eric]

“Trainwreck: Woodstock ’99” is a must-watch… Ali says so!

After watching “Trainwreck: Woodstock 99” I am 110% certain I would’ve left after day one. The original festival in 1969 was about community. Everyone was preaching about ‘peace’ and ‘love.’ Woodstock was a movement. It defined a generation. Some of the same organizers banded together again in the 90’s, along with new corporate promoters, hoping the festival would bring a new generation together in a similar way. Unfortunately, greed, the utter lack of concern for festival-goers, and poor planning caused absolute mayhem for the entirety of the festival. “Trainwreck” gives first-hand accounts of what the debacle was like from the perspective of the artist, fan, production team, and security. I watched every episode back-to-back because I couldn’t believe it actually happened that way. In 1999, when I saw it on TV as a teenager, I remember MTV VJ’s getting garbage hurled at them on live television from the crowd below. It seemed more funny to me at the time, to watch Carson Daly dodge pop bottles, but this Netflix documentary made me realize that it was all a part of the nightmare that was happening on the ground, and the people, they were revolting. And you thought Fyre Festival was bad… watch this!! -Ali
