Spindoc Bob in today's "The Age" newspaper (Green Guide p22)

I see that Spindoc Bob has made it onto page 22 of the "Green Guide" in this Thursday's issue of "The Age" newspaper (Melbourne). (Sorry, but couldn't find a non-paid-subscription link). Nice to see geocaching mentioned, although the article is mostly about podcasting. Also lucky the photo has your ...

Re: Open Caching

I don't know anything about Trademark or Copyright law, but I noticed something very familiar about the logo on http://www.opencaching.com ( it's even more noticeable when you put the slightly-inclined "Leatherman" geocaching logo between the two ): http://bit.ly/cOcqqe Given the recent news about "...

Re: New GeoCaching Web-Series

... given the family-friendly nature of Geocaching, the Youtube username "SweatyVajayjays" is seriously NOT appropriate. I spotted that one too [-( Thanks for mentioning it before me Team Wibble. In addition to the non-family-friendly YouTube username, I was not as impressed with the "action sequen...

Re: For the pedants amongst us ...

I did give them a clue to the more egregious errors in it, but you can lead a horticulture... A rather clever quote from our literary bear, attributed to Dorothy Parker. While I'm sure he doesn't really mean to imply anything disreputable about that specific cacher, I guess many of those 20,000 pub...

Re: Wherigo for iPhone

Has anyone given the new Wherigo app for iPhone a test run? The app is free and can be found at the App store under WherPiGo. Thanks for letting us know about the existence of the iPhone Wherigo app FarmerFrentzen. I downloaded it immediately, and after work today I was able to test it on my Geelon...

Mega Oz Power Trail - Important News I finally arrived home from my work in Melbourne (through the Easter traffic :evil:) to find no email from the US reviewers in my Inbox.

Re: Mega Oz Power Trail

When are they going to be published? I'll be down that way over Easter and I would love to grab a few hundred. My eldest is learning to drive, so she can drive and I'll hang out the door to grab them as we go past. Can't wait. Hi caughtatwork! I really expected them to be published overnight, but n...

Mega Oz Power Trail I had hoped to report this earlier :oops:. Thought I'd better give you this last-minute "heads-up" rather than have you miss out... The results of the poll are in! It seems that the early indications panned out, in spite of some "robust discussion". According to the poll in the ...

Re: Power Trails: an (ammo) can of worms

I've got a FANTASTIC IDEA for a power trail and it'll save the trees too since it won't need logbooks I'll create a series called GP1 to GP500 on a long but low traffic volume road (still gotta be safe) and the guide posts can be the caches When you find the 'cache' you just write your log on the g...

Power Trails: an (ammo) can of worms

Troll alert... at the end :evil: I have just listened to the latest episode of the Podcacher podcast (#260) where they discussed the "controversial topic" of "Power Trails", and specifically the 600+ cache Power Trail recently placed in California/Nevada, USA. There's a bit of discussion about it b...
