A few days ago, I was having dinner with a good friend of mine. We discussed many things, but one thing that came up was the fact that he is trying to declutter his home. His attempts at decluttering have not been entirely successful because he has bought a number of things, offsetting the stuff … Continue reading The Start Of A New Era? →

Anybody aware of my caching handle probably knows that I was pretty much honor-bound to watch a new movie that just premiered. I said I was going to wait until the crowds died down, but I'm obviously a liar because I saw it at the first reasonable opportunity. I slipped out of work and headed … Continue reading Time Was Running Out →

Friday was a strange day. After the shenanigans of GeoLeap 2024 the day before, it felt weird having to go back to work. Leap Day felt like a Saturday! I intended to go to a morning event at a donut shop, but after my previous long day on the road and late evening writing about … Continue reading The Aftermath →

The primary organizer of GeoLeap 2024, the legendary (and, to some, infamous) TTO2, began wondering about the idea of holding a Mega-Event on Leap Day almost a year ago. Would anyone come? What kind of caching could be shoved into a leap day? He and his compatriots began planning in earnest. Being people who get things done, … Continue reading GeoLeap 2024 →

Every four years (unless the year is divisible by 100 but not by 400), reputedly thanks to Julius Caesar (because Bibulus was either a religious zealot or a clever politician), we add a day to the year. Of course, in this modern age of electronics and GPS, we occasionally add leap minutes and leap seconds, … Continue reading Leap Day Approacheth →

I planned to get up early on Saturday to start on an adventure. I totally overslept, but not too late, meaning it was still cool when things started. I met Razorbackgirl at Lake Georgetown to begin an epic adventure: working Carrot Killer's new D5/T5 Virtual. All you have to do to earn it is to … Continue reading Around And Around We Go →

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3v-vkTQ1q0 So, yesterday evening, while some of you were sleeping and others of you were winding down, I was a guest on Caching in the NorthWest! We talked about satellites, gave a little crap to the biggest fruit-based phone making company in the world, and, of course, discussed geocaching! I personally talked a little about … Continue reading Here It Is 13: Back To The PNW! →

Yesterday afternoon, I went after a newly published cache. I didn't get FTF because I didn't go after it first thing in the morning before work, but that's not important. A cache is a cache is a cache. It turned out to be a cute little birdhouse, at least partially 3-D printed. To be terribly … Continue reading How Shall I Be Ennobled? →

... it becomes necessary for one region to prepare a competing team for Texas Challenge, odds are incredibly good that corresponding Events will be held to prepare and plan our ultimate victory over the foul and most foreign interlopers from the other regions. This time, though, it was less deep planning and strategy and more … Continue reading When In The Course Of Human Events… →

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I had been interviewed by a journalism student at the University of Texas at Austin. Well, the story has been published! Featuring me and Escondido70, a student at UT whom I've run into before, it's a fairly short read, but I hope it serves as an introduction … Continue reading Here It Is 12: Alma Mater Edition →
