Man, it’s been a while, huh? I’ve been kinda focused on writing on Slacker Manager. I’ve had lots of posts rolling through my head for the bren : blog, but just haven’t done ’em. Until now.

I bought a GPS unit with some blog proceeds. Figured geocaching might be fun, plus it’d be cool just to learn about the whole mapping and GPS scene. I’ve really been digging using the unit to check out stats while I’m driving (16 miles to work; average speed is 32 mph; etc…).

Anyway, today Truman and I tried our hand at geocaching. Actually, I tried earlier today since there is a cache on the Newberg campus. Couldn’t find it though, even though it seemed like I was standing right on it. I’ll try again later. Tru and I did this one which is down by a Willamettte River boatramp in town. Just a couple of minutes away from our house. It was a microcache, which means it was just in a 35mm film canister, rather than something larger like an ammo box, or rubbermaid container. We had no trouble finding it. We took a nickle and left a Korean coin. Tru was pretty stoked (okay, we both were). We’ll go again tomorrow after work.
