Idea: Meeting Spoofer
Coworkers keep scheduling meetings in periods you've blocked-off for no-meetings, head-down focus time? Maybe you should try scheduling fake meetings in those slots instead and see if they respect those any better! (But perhaps there's a bigger cultural issue you oughta look at instead.)

Found GC4MHJ0 Octo (MK Artwalks)
This checkin to GC4MHJ0 Octo (MK Artwalks) reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Today's the last of three consecutive days that I've spent working in Milton Keynes. On each day I've taken a short walk while I've eaten my lunch to find a nearby geocache. This was today's.
After admiring the … -

Step/ski into my office! Today I'm working from a cafe overlooking an indoor ski slope where my kids are having lessons!

Power's out yet again at my house (though not for the last reason nor because of our weird wiring: this time it's for tree trimming), so here I am in my favourite coworking-friendly local cafe with The Signal And The Noise (which I've talked about before) in my ears and a whole lot of sprint planning at my fingertips.

Dan sits at his laptop in a cafe; his phone is playing music to his earbuds.

Suno the Cheerleader
I continue to be an AI-sceptic. But if you're feeling uninspired on a Monday morning, try feeding your to-do list into an AI songwriter and ask for something uplifting so you can start your day with a cheerleader on your side!

Window Tax
Britain and the Netherlands both had window taxes at various times. But the social and architectural effects were quite different.

Found GC89T04 Japanse glazen dobbers
This checkin to GC89T04 Japanse glazen dobbers reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. An easy find. Didn't take nor leave any books, but briefly skimmed the Borland JBuilder 2 Getting Started guide, because it was familiar/nostalgic. Pretty sure I used this tool... about 25 years ago!

Found GC8R0FY SIX on the beach
This checkin to GC8R0FY SIX on the beach reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. An easy find. As a approached I thought that a couple cuddling here might be in my way, but they were just getting ready to leave as I arrived! SL (love the long thin logbook!), TFTC. …

Found GC79PX6 Galgenveld / Field of Gallows
This checkin to GC79PX6 Galgenveld / Field of Gallows reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Eww. Had to put my hand into two gross holes before finding the (correct) third gross hole I needed to put my hand into. Worth it in the end for a happy smiley face. Thanks …

Found GCAJGEA Welcome to Amsterdam! (Virtual Reward 4.0)
This checkin to GCAJGEA Welcome to Amsterdam! (Virtual Reward 4.0) reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. TFTC! I'm not carrying any tickets for UK transport, but I've got a (mildly defaced) British banknote and I found a tram (the number 13, which connected me to my hotel this week) and …

Found GCAJHEN Amsterdam Greed / Hebzucht
This checkin to GCAJHEN Amsterdam Greed / Hebzucht reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Cash? Not carrying much of that. But my credit card sits at the front of my minimalist wallet and, as a bonus, shows my geocaching username (which is the same as my actual name) without showing …

Did not find GC5A7X0 Bicycle Parking
This checkin to GC5A7X0 Bicycle Parking reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. No luck here despite an extended search, the hint, and the spoiler image. Confident I've found the right host but no sign in the cache. I wonder if another geocacher is holding it right now, sitting somewhere nearby …

Found GCAHANJ De Dolphijn
This checkin to GCAHANJ De Dolphijn reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. QEF once some nearby muggles moved along. TFTC.
PS Logbook getting quite full, only space for about 20-30 more signatures. -
Found GCAB935 Bartolotti House
This checkin to GCAB935 Bartolotti House reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Easy to spot, but I had to wait a while to be able to stealthily retrieve the cache. TFTC!
