I think it was Thursday 2 weeks ago that I decided to help out the people trying to sell their cars on the side of the road by writing catchy slogans on their windshields. They like to park them on a busy highway next to my house with FOR SALE signs on them. I can …

Geocaching in Tangent
Biked about 15 miles today, looking for Geocaches. Had to quit when the battery on my cell phone died. Took a few pictures. Closing in on a cache. A microcache, hanging from a tree. I think I’m going to bye this truck. Hey look, a 38-year-old car for just $4,000! A ripped up old chair …

Elephant Poop
What good are those touch screen signature pads for signing for your credit cards really? All they do is make your signature completely illegible and the cashier still has to print out 2 slips of paper – one is the credit card receipt for her to keep and the other is your receipt. Isn’t the …

Cleaning up my hard drive
I’ll get this out of the way first… Last weekend I created my own geocache called the Telephone Cache which contains a bunch of telephone-related items. 5 people have found it already. One guy went out at night and found it within an hour of it being posted on geocaching.com. Tonight I’ve been cleaning up …

Geocache Navigator
I know I’m being annoying about Geocaching lately, but ever since I got this new program for my Blackberry I’m suddenly really into Geocaching again. Today I spent about 3 hours biking around Albany, finding caches by myself. I think this is the first time I’ve ever geocached by myself. I found 4 caches and …

Bolt
Went to see Bolt this weekend with the kids. I didn’t realize that it was in 3-D. I also didn’t know that the theater was going to charge us NINE DOLLARS AND TWENTY-FIVE CENTS EACH to get into a matinee. That sucked. I guess with all the movies going 3-D, that’s going to be their …

Good vs. Evil
“If I were rich I would do a lot of Geocaching and I would leave $100 bills for people to find.” -Payton, in the car today, just me and him talking about random stuff. “We should start a Geocaching team called the GeoCrashers and we’ll go around just destroying caches and taking all their stuff.” …

Aquafina and Hostess Cupcakes
Can anyone tell me why xkcd is so incredibly awesome? Each comic is greater than the last and today’s is my new favorite. Lately I’ve been listening to a podcast called Welcome to Mars which is actually a 12 part radio series that some guy produced for some station. Between 1947 and 1959, the future …

Flash mobs, Mormons and other things
A few weeks ago while on a hike with the kids and a few others from the hiking group, I met a guy who was involved with an area Geocaching group so I joined it a few days later. Turns out, these people pull occasional flash mobs in Albany and Corvallis with a surprisingly large …

Night in the Lonesome October
Last week I was chatting with John Sever (you may have heard of him, he’s very famous) and he mentioned a book that he really likes called A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny which is some kind of Jack the Ripper book. Since I haven’t read a book in months now, I …
