What's your favorite Web site?
I visit Kanye West's blog often. He always keeps me posted on the craziest fashion and art. He even talks about architecture. It's just a lot of stuff Kanye likes, which is stuff I usually like.

Besides Facebook? I like Pandora. I like the music selection it gives me and how I can discover new music.

Google. Because I'm such a geek, I'm always looking for something for school. Or checking my e-mail. I'm probably the only KU student who spends more time on Outlook Express than on Facebook. Ray Segerebrecht, Lawrence junior
I like the blog Maddox.xmission.com.It's pretty crude.It provides a lot of social commentary,and it's not afraid to be politically incorrect.
Alisha Patterson, Kansas City, Kan., senior
Probably ABC.com. I watch the shows that I miss during the week. I watch Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives.
Jordan Leiker, Wichita freshman
I usually go to Facebook. I always know what's going on with people. I like how you can create events and invite people without actually calling them.
Stephane Chatagnier, Toulouse, France, sophomore
Pitchforkmedia.com. It's a review site. I like reading about albums that just came out, and they have information on different shows and compilations and stuff.
—Patrick Mathay, Littleton, Colo., senior
I like ESPN, because I'm a big sports fan. I search results for games and articles about sports events. My favorite team is a soccer team, Manchester United.
The Enigma Puzzle. It's a multi-part Web puzzle, like a problem solving game. It takes a lot of logic, but I like it because it's very mentally stimulating.

THIS WEEKEND: Festival of Trees
It's that time of year again. Finals are nearly upon us and the holidays are just around the corner, so why not take an hour or two to relax, unwind and enjoy the festive atmosphere?
Tonight is the final showing of Lawrence's annual Festival of Trees at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Groups and individuals all over Lawrence donate and decorate the trees according to a theme before the trees are auctioned off to raise money for The Shelter, Inc., a nonprofit organization that supports troubled youth. Children get in to the event free, and a $2 donation is requested from adults.
But the festivities don't end there.
You can head downtown Saturday for the annual parade full of old-fashioned horse-drawn carriages. Shelby Lathrom, who helped with organizing the event, says that people come from all over the Midwest to drive their horse and buggies down Massachusetts Street through the parade, which begins at 11 a.m.
Then be sure to head to the Lawrence Art Guild Holiday Art Fair at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., which features decorative holiday work from more than 60 artists.The event runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
