Geocaching
Came up 7th on the Yahoo zeitgeist this weekend.
Was struck by the amount of sites there are in the UK. map.
Consists of navigating yourself to a hidden container write a log, leave a meaningful object, and plod on your weary path.
Travel Tracker Sports Mate – ttsm
This guy sent me a link the other day.
Travel Tracker Sports Mate
The domain lets you upload a GPX file directly from your GPS unit.
(GPX Visualizer)
Visualization: options like ‘playback’ and heart rate against time/altitude.
Prove to your mates how fast you did a journey and lets THEM see areas where you slacked it off.
Real-time visualisation
They’re publishing a KML visualization of the Alp d’Huze race in France today in real-time to run on the site coincidentally with the racers undertaking the course.
As far as I know, this is an Internet first for real time visualisations.
Prince Chitty
The Princes know more than anybody about the circumstances of their mothers death.
To suggest they will be affected by a television documentary is ridiculous.
Google LatLong: Googlemaps mash ups to your desktop
Google’s released this gadget which sends the latest googlemaps mash-ups to your i google page.
Put your slippers on and warm the coco. Flick through the worthy collections.
The widget accepts KML format.
Doesn’t have any information on submitting maps.
News Briefing and Chanel 4
I notice that Channel 4 was the only channel to reject media briefing to lead on the big terrorist story tonight.
Doubtlessly, this will cost them their public-operators license in the long-term.
They led on the Obachiche, video below.
A story about Terrorist’s being sponsored harboured and funded by the UK government.
dick?
Madalenie McCann is in a tunnel somewhere.
Everyone knows it, but no-one will tell the frantic family.
Perhaps if they were to hire their own private dick, he might be able to eventually locate her.

Here’s a list of modern deskjet printers I have bought, owned and used in the past year.
Below each printer is a length of time.
This is how long these “brand new” products lasted.
The latest installation, I have taken out an additional warranty, for £40, to cover me when things go wrong, judging by past experience, they will.
