Letter of Recommendation: Escape Rooms
...
Think of all the ways you already insert pleasurable, circumscribed bursts of risk into your life. Maybe you watch horror movies, consume hot sauce, jaywalk. Maybe you pursue casual sex or steal Splenda packets from Starbucks or treat the speed limit as a cute suggestion. An escape game is like stacking these things atop one … -
Performed maintenance for GC7R0HB The Fairy Elevator
This checkin to GC7R0HB The Fairy Elevator reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Sorry it took me so long to get out here to check up on this cache; geocaching.com started disbelieving that my email address was valid and stopped sending me watchlist notifications for a while! Looks like the …

Notes from #musetech18 presentations (with a strong "collaboration" theme). Note that these are "live notes" first-and-foremost for my own use and so are probably full of typos. Sorry.
Matt Locke (StoryThings, @matlocke):
Over the last 100 years, proportional total advertising revenue has been stolen from newspapers by radio, then television: scheduled media that is experienced simultaneously. … -
Found GC34XPT Northumberland Avenue
This checkin to GC34XPT Northumberland Avenue reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Quick find with a coworker on a lunch break from an event at the National Gallery. TFTC!

Found GC7B73B Virtual Reward : The Fourth Plinth
This checkin to GC7B73B Virtual Reward : The Fourth Plinth reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. An easy find while grabbing the (much harder, in account of muggles!) physical cache nearby. Message to CO to follow. TFTC!

Found GC5A7DW Trafalgar Square
This checkin to GC5A7DW Trafalgar Square reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Fantastic hide! Stood around looking at my phone for a bit while some pot-smoking workmen nearby eyed me suspiciously, but eventually they moved away and I had a moment to retrieve the cache. Glad I came first thing …

Now that Google+ has been shuttered, I should air my dirty laundry...
Now that Google+ has been shuttered, I should air my dirty laundry on how awful the project and exec team was.
I'm still pissed about the bait and switch they pulled by telling me I'd be working on Chrome, then putting me on this god forsaken piece of shit on day one.
This will be a super … -
Mystery Pipe
There's a strange pipe on this steam locomotive. Can you guess what it's for?

Found OK0300 M-libs12L
This checkin to OK0300 M-libs12L reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Barely a stone's throw from my last waypoint: I'm spending more time getting selfies than I am walking about! TFTC.

Found OK02FF M-libs 12B
This checkin to OK02FF M-libs 12B reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I can't help but notice that this "modern missus" is quite-literally being held back by a chain (of oppression?). Not sure that's what the artist intended or just an unfortunate side-effect of the way it's been installed, though!

Note OK02FB M-libs12K
This checkin to OK02FB M-libs12K reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Coordinates look off, to me. I've sampled at N 52° 01.500', W 000° 42.440', which looks more accurate to me.

Found OK02FB M-libs12K
This checkin to OK02FB M-libs12K reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Topiary-tastic! Great spot for a virtual.

Dnf OK0307 M-libs 12S
This checkin to OK0307 M-libs 12S reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. No sign of any artwork at the GZ, unless a fire assembly point sign counts...

Need-maintenance OK0303 M-libs12H
This checkin to OK0303 M-libs12H reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Aside from the (loose) historical connection, there's little to recommend this waypoint. But thanks for the history lesson!
(Oh, I can't log this one either... another password needed and no indication of where I can should begin looking for it...)

Found OK0302 M-libs12C
This checkin to OK0302 M-libs12C reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Lovely sculpture. Thanks for sharing!
