I’ve actually had things to do for a few days. Thursday night was, of course, choir rehearsal. Last night I had dinner and saw a movie with Lesley since I hadn’t seen her in forever and I owed her sushi. Tonight I’m going to a birthday party for someone I’ve never met, but invited me because I’m in Suzi’s book. Tomorrow is kickball, so I’m going to exhaust myself there, and Monday night I’ll be setting up to record the kickcast. Oh yes, Tuesday I have a dentist appointment and Wednesday night I have a ticket to the Rep. Wow, an entire week with *something* going on every day. That’s not been my norm lately.
Now if I only had a job that I needed to fit things in around.
Sometimes I’m on the leading edge of technology, other times I’m well behind. I decided today that I wanted to start looking for benchmarks and geocaches again. I go through spurts where I’m in the mood to go find things. :)
It was only as I was considering this that I realized that my iPhone was an excellent geocaching device. And, of course, geocaching.com had already written a very nice application for just that purpose. I downloaded it and headed out for a late-afternoon drive. While the phone is certainly not the best GPS receiver out there, it’s not bad, and the convenience of having the web browser and GPSr together in one device mostly makes up for the lack of accuracy. I found four of the six caches I visited today. It was fun to get out of the house and go wandering around looking for things again.
