Thursday links

Andrea asked me to post Thursday links for her, so don't expect too much this week! A few of these she sent me before her trip...

iPod news: Have iPod, will travel. Use Yahoo directions so you have a map on your iPod! Andrea can navigate her way around Philly with this thing.

Is it pop or soda? Or coke? Find out what to call it where with this map of regional soft drink names.

And in search engine news, someone named his son after Google. No, I'm not going to do that! (The Google blog is an entertaining read sometimes, by the way. They even post recipes!)

This is too cool! Watch what happens when you pop a water balloon in space.

This is too wild not to include: Bush's "speechwriter"...he reminds me of David Spade kind of. I thought it was hilarious, so hopefully no one will be too offended that it's poking fun at the President. (Whom I hope watches a winning World Series game in Minute Maid park next week! ;) ) Thanks to Ari for the hat tip.
