Just in time for summer, USA Today has put together a great list of travel apps to take with you. From apps that let you save things to read for later…and then let you read them without a Wi-Fi connection to an application that warns you about pickpocket activity in your vicinity, the list covers just about all your bases.

Sometimes it’s okay to play with your food. Especially if you’re Christopher Boffoli and you take whimsical photographs featuring tiny people and huge pieces of food. Like the woman golfing atop a cupcake. Or climbers struggling to mount a wall of cookies. The artist’s show “Big Appetites” opens tomorrow in New York but I suggest you check out these clever photos today.

Karen M. sent in today’s Starbucks Alter Ego. She writes:  “I said my name was Karen.  It was interesting to walk down the street with this.” We bet.

The New York Daily News asked me what I’m doing for Father’s Day. The answer was simple: I’m off with the kids for a long-planned end-of-school trip to Disney World.

Today’s Starbucks Alter Ego is a doozy. It comes from Sara, who used to getting an ‘h’ placed at the end of her name. But Cer-uh? That’s a new one….

The president has a new single out. The latest mash-up from the folks at BarackDubs—a YouTube channel which specializes in mincing Obama’s words, setting them to pop songs, and then getting millions and millions of page views—has dropped. And if you’ve been dying to hear “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen come out of the president’s lips, today is your lucky day. VIDEO

And I thought I was good. You’ve got to check out this VIDEO of a new Guinness World Record being set. It’s for the tightest parallel parking job on the books. A Chinese driver named Han Yue was able to park a Mini Cooper between two cars with only 5.91 inches to spare. And he did the whole thing looking cool and collected.

Tis the season for misspelling! The Starbucks Alter Egos keep rolling in. Today’s is from a gentleman named Richard. He writes, via Twitter: “Went to @Starbucks to cure my poor spelling. Seems it was contagious. Last time I try my shorter name.” Short, long—it doesn’t matter Rich!

Today we got an international addition to our Starbucks roster from Blair, who’s in Spain.
