A fun, easy post. The idea came from Matt Haughey, who got it from Jason Kottke. I followed the same rules: "One or more nights spent in each place. Those cities marked with an * were visited multiple times on non-consecutive days."

• Glendale now has one stadium named University of Phoenix Stadium, and another named Jobing.com Arena. That's 0 for 2 for those of you keeping score at home.
• Meghan (Voxless) sent me a link to an NPR interview with Amos Lee. The interview is brief and he performs a couple of his songs in studio. I liked the music -- it was a treat to enjoy a little bit of mellow music in my hotel room.
• "Abide Dude." That's brilliant (the in-joke: Obey Giant, Shepherd Fairy's collaborative guerilla art project)
  

Farecast is super cool.

Farecast: Predicting Fare Prices

I can't wait to see how the airlines will adjust their pricing models if Farecast takes off. They must have swallowed hard when this dropped.

Where I have been, inspired by Sugah.

My world travels are simple. A long trip through eastern Canada to find my roots, a short trip to Tijuana, Mexico to find party, a trip through London to Switzerland to buy a semiconductor capital equipment company, and a trip through China to Tibet to find out about the other side of the world.

I have traveled through most of the United States without ever spending time in the Great Lakes states or the norther portion of the Midwest. I've been in Georgia, but only the airport, so I don't count that. And I really want to get to Alaska and Hawaii, but haven't had a good occasion yet.

The tools are simple; mark your territory and make your own maps. Where have you been?

Ouch. Sometimes that's the life of an international fashion superstar, I guess.
