- People who run across the country: Katie Visco, 23, is an Illinois girl who is running from Boston, Massachusetts to San Diego, California. Boston to San Diego! She just finished a visit home and is now moving through Indiana. Her journey will help promote and raise funds for Girls on the Run. Follow Katie's journey.
- People who bike across the country: As I rode on my bike home from work, I noticed a young man and woman with matching Giant bikes and biking uniforms strolling around the church on the corner of Edwards and Walnut. Curious, I pedaled over to them and asked them if they knew of any bike trails in Springfield. Turns out they weren't from Illinois at all! They're from a group called Bike and Build, which is devoted to constructing new, affordable housing while cycling across the U.S. You can also meet George and Marisa, the two kind souls I biked into, who are going from Providence, Rhode Island, to my old stomping grounds, San Francisco, California.

- The appropriately titled "Warm" by Owen Jay, a deep house DJ from the Mediterranean island of Malta. I imagine I could produce this sort of subtle, easy-on-the-ears music if I were from a Mediterranean island. I discovered this track while listening to Deeper Shades of House podcast #299 by Los Angeles-based DJ Lars Behrenroft. "Peepshow" and its layered melodies also provide a good listen.
- These ridiculously sick mixtapes, I mean, business cards.
