So I found my first two geocaches yesterday. I think that it is now safe to say that I am an addict. I drove up to Hartselle to visit my girlfriend and we went looking for them. Both were micro. The first one we found was TINY. We were both about ready to give up until we got a hint from someone in the area. The second one was a little bit easier to find. Anyone who has ever wanted to be Indiana Jones or Nathan Drake from the Uncharted video games series is bound to have a blast doing this. I used an app on my Android phone called c:geo. It is definitely worth checking out. If you have a QR code reader on your phone, just scan this.

Happy hunting and always leave the place better than when you found it!

We just passed the 2 month mark of the oil hemorrhage in the Gulf Coast with no real solution in sight. I understand the anger and hatred toward BP. I’ll admit, I feel a lot of it myself. What I don’t really understand is all of the calls to boycott BP. We shouldn’t be so [...]

Hello world!

June 29, 2010

So I figured it was time to jump on the bandwagon and start a blog. I wanted a place on the web where I could keep track of websites and different projects that I’m working on, and thought that a blog would be a good thing to add to it. Most of the things that [...]
