This year’s DAMOP meeting is in State College PA, which has good and bad points. It’s not exactly a tourist Mecca, but then that means I won’t feel bad spending all day in physics talks. It’s also probably relatively cheap, unlike Calgary last year.<\/p>\n

But the most important feature of the location is that it’s in western Pennsylvania, meaning I get to drive to it. This is good because I like driving, and because it keeps me out of airports and airplanes. It’s bad because the meeting ends on Saturday morning, and there’s a baby shower for FutureBaby on Sunday. In Boston.<\/p>\n

So, I’ll be spending my Saturday driving across half of PA, half of New York, and all of Massachusetts. There is, of course, only one good way to stay awake on a drive like this– no, not amphetamines, music. I used to have a box full of mix tapes that I used specifically for late-night drives across Pennsylvania and New Jersey when I was in grad school– the iPod removes the need for separate tapes (though I really should re-create some of them as ordered playlists– the “Ziggy Stardust” into “Beast of Burden” combo is tough to beat for sing-along potential.<\/p>\n

Anyway, in honor of my drive, below the fold are twenty songs from the “Speeding” playlist on my iPod, of songs that are good to play in the car.<\/p>\n
