My dad and I are headed to Philadelphia tomorrow, just after school. In fact, I'm supposed to be packing, showering, writing a poem, and sleeping right now. Oh the demands of being a teenager. I'm visiting Swarthmore Sunday and Monday, then UVA on Tuesday. Lots of driving, lots of books on tape.

But I wanted to leave you with some links (a long with a semi-functional layout. Hello blogosphere!), just in case you get bored while I'm gone.

Latte Art. Something about the fat content needed to create these kinds of designs really bothers me.

Speakers' Corner. "Speakers Corner takes a live feed from this website or your mobile phone and feeds it directly to the public display in the centre of Huddersfield, UK" -- a new kind of found poem.

Ted Leo's cover of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" is even more addictive than the original. Did I mention that I'm in love with him?

A guy that I (sort of) know quit school for poker.

Mark showed me some bogus pages on Amazon after I mentioned ground lion. Be sure to read the reviews.

An interesting article about the immediacy of the internet and its place in the physical world.

"Next, he began stuffing the mail back into the 'business reply' envelope and sending it back so that the mailer would have to pay the postage." -- an article about how people cope with life's little annoyances like junkmail.
