  • Little people, big shame

    Sorry about the long break β€” I just wish I could tell you that it was because I’d been completely unable to find any awful examples of the pink/blue β€˜colour bar’ in kids’ stuff. Sadly the truth is quite the reverse: there seems to be more of this crap every day, it gets demoralising, and…

  • Found GLEM32TE Oxford Medical History #1: Medical mould

    This checkin to GLEM32TE Oxford Medical History #1: Medical mould reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Despite having helped the CO to hunt for hiding spots, it still took me a while to retrieve this one as muggles kept passing by! Got there in the eve. TFTC!

  • ISEE-3

    Back in early March, I posted comic #1337, Hack, about a wayward spacecraft. ISEE-3/ICE was returning to fly past Earth after many decades of wandering through space. It was still operational, and could potentially be sent on a new mission, but NASA no longer had the equipment to talk to itΒ—and announced that reconstructing the equipment…

  • The quietest (Mega)Lounge yet? Ever?




    [this post was originally made to a private subreddit]

    As I've made my way up through the lounges, I've discovered - as you'd expect - that each has been quieter than the one that preceded it. Does this trend continue, I wonder: do we end with somebody (Greypo, I guess!) talking to themselves? Or is …

  • Found GLEJ3XFQ Oxford Medical History #2: Grey matter

    This checkin to GLEJ3XFQ Oxford Medical History #2: Grey matter reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. An easy enough find made easier by the fact that I helped find the hiding spot for the owner! Came by on the way home from work to drop off a Georgian. TFTC!

Found with a little help from an older couple, out for a walk, who'd earlier asked if I was lost and subsequently took an interest in geocaching. Not sure if they'll log on and …
