Something cool to try

I have been really wanting to do this, maybe even incorporate it into some of myKayak trips. I bet many of you have and many probably have not heard of Geocaching.

"Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache." from the faq pages of http://www.geocaching.com

If anyone is interested in trying this or maybe just getting together to kayak sometime just send me a comment here sometime.

Well I run into cool stuff all the time and I figure I should post it for anyone else to peruse. Have you guys tried out the Raterbator? Cool stuff check it out at the following link:

If you post your Rasterbation let me know it would be cool to see what others create. I will take a picture of one I am working on from an HP large format plotter.

interesting test I took

Your brain: 120% interpersonal, 200% visual, 20% verbal, and 60% mathematical!

Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers. Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious: Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80%. Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100%. Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200%.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 92% on interpersonal You scored higher than 96% on visual You scored higher than 23% on verbal You scored higher than 45% on mathematical
