I mean, she doesn’t even want it. She said … -
Digest for September 2018
Summary
This month's blog activity was mostly dominated by 360° photos taken with my new camera, e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I also had to archive two geocaches, Oxford's Wild Wolf One and Two, as they'd been getting muggled/vandalised. I also shared a fabulous reinterpretation of Who's On First? for the post-post-modern society.

Lunchtime at @NuffieldCollege gave me another excuse to snap some 360° photos; this one's part of the quad.

That way they would never know

Some 702 intimate examinations were done on sedated or anaesthetised patients (table 3). In only 24% of these examinations had written consent been obtained, and a further 24% of examinations were conducted apparently without written or oral consent.

Archived GC7Q9E6 Oxford's Wild Wolf One
This checkin to GC7Q9E6 Oxford's Wild Wolf One reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. In hindsight, I should've anticipated that when the nearby schools' terms started this hiding place would be at-risk. I've been checking on this spot at school-kicking-out time for a few weeks and, sure enough, the tree …
