  • Review of Power Banks RAVPower 26800mAh Portable Charger

    This review originally appeared on Amazon. See more reviews by Dan. Power Banks RAVPower 26800mAh Portable Charger 3-Port 5.5A iSmart - Black Rating: โญโญโญโญ Powerful, heavyweight battery: great, but wish the ports were labelled!
    Big, powerful battery, but still (barely) small enough to fit in large jeans pockets alongside a phone, for charging-on-the-go. Never seen โ€ฆ

  • Couldn't find GC6NWBN Pansy's Cache

    This checkin to GC6NWBN Pansy's Cache reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Nope, no luck this morning. Thought I'd be in with a chance of an FTF for sure, but I can't find the cache.

    Both my GPSr and my phone seem to think that the posted coordinates are about 18m โ€ฆ

  • Posted a note for GC6NWBN Pansy's Cache

    This checkin to GC6NWBN Pansy's Cache reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Having difficulty getting closer than 18m away (according to my devices): looks like it's in someone's garden! Gonna assume that the coordinates are off (or the satellites hate me today) and just start searching in a wide area...

    McDonalds Let the Internet Create Their Own Burgers and Guess What Happened



    McDonalds had to know what they were doing. The New Zealand branch of the franchise launched its "Create Your Taste" campaign with a special promotion: Design your own burger and get free fries and a soft drink for your trouble. Not a bad idea in theory, but then there's the part where they let everyone โ€ฆ

    "Jump Man" from Footprints Tours Oxford making people jump around outside the Bodleian Library



    If you're a tourist on one of "Jump Man" of Footprints Tours' tours, I'm sure that the obligatory "jump for a photograph" moment at the end is a fun novelty. However, the novelty quickly wears off when you work in one of the library offices right next to their usual spot, and the call of โ€ฆ

  • Found GLNEB6EN Horsey horsey

    This checkin to GLNEB6EN Horsey horsey reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found with tajasel and a toddler in tow. Cache was empty apart from the log, so we left a puzzle toy and a bouncy ball for future trades.
