I do love using travel time for podcasts; in fact, it's the only time I listen to them--in the car or on the train. And for some reason, I only read books in airports or in airplanes. Fortunately, I've been traveling a lot, so I'm nearly done with Hot, Flat and Crowded. Do you have a Shelfari account? Great for sharing ongoing book recommendations. And hey, we should have a Shelfari for podcasts, shouldn't we? Thanks for the link love!

That's my picture! Staring into the mid distance on the Piccadilly line...

If I have nothing to do my mind just drives forward with plans, things I could be writing, things I could be drawing or making. You make some good suggestions for using the time to educate and prepare yourself for tasks ahead. A good article for reminding people that every minute is precious, there is no excuse to be bored on a train/bus, trying to look interested in mundane advertising so as to avoid eye contact with strangers.

It lets me read offline articles from the web that I've saved to read later. When people tweet links during the day I save them to instapaper instead of getting distracted. I can then catch up during the commute. I find instapaper on the iPhone to be perfect for the commute. It lets me read offline articles from the web that I’ve saved to read later.
