Yeah, this title's a reach. They can't all be winners. But the architecture we're linking today is about renovating Wrigley, rebuilding the farm system, reshaping your perceptions of what some of the major-league Cubs can do, and what you can do with a 3-D printer. And there's news on sea-faring and baseball-throwing Sharks.
After a small, and very reasonable, request, I'm going to try and remember to mark all links that are strictly video to help you have your speaker volume ready Because I don't want to be the reason your boss finds out you're spending hours on BCB instead of completing your TPS reports.
