  1. I was trying to convince her that some of the items she's collected over the years would make for a perfect trade, but she seemed to have a different opinion. Back to stealing toys from the kid while she's not looking. Seriously though, swap meets (flea markets) can be great places to find really odd things to place in a cache. I may never buy new plastic again.
  2. quote:Originally posted by brdad:OK, maybe I was wrong. I don't think we will accept all ideas .... while rubber toes and nekkid squirrels may show the diversity of geocachers, I do not think they portray what geocaching or any logo associated with it is! And Pubo, glad to see you found someone you could trust to lend your goods to. Shhh! You'll just encourage him...er..me. What if I added Warm Fuzzies feet? Back to the logo, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the in spite of Jeremy taking some of the responsibility, I don't see how any of this can be rested on his shoulders. I feel for FISUR (ObClinton: "I feel your pain") and would ask that those of us who feel sorry for the guy send him a buck via paypal to cover his loss of the further use of the die. I may have read this here at one point, but I once heard that if you stripped Coke of all it's tangible assets, all it's trucks, buildings, bottling plants..etc. If you just left them with the logo, they'd still be worth a BILLION dollars. The very fact that everyone wants to use the logo that Jeremy (had?) designed, reflects it's monetary value. If the law tells him to draw lines in the sand, his hands are tied. All of this points to a very real need for a free for all logo, even if it winds up selling gas on the corner. How about a guy tripping over a stump with little "alarmed" lines sticking out above his head? Or a logbook/pen/GPS combo in a logo...

  4. In addition to a forum, (I know...first thing's first) how about a zipcode lookup database for park personel contact info. The database could have a field containing any status information on placing caches in the area. If it's allowed, are permits required, who to contact for a go-ahead...etc. Possibly the meeting schedules for the local advisory commitees, contact phone numbers... Anything and everything that's pertinent to getting approval for the community without having every (twelth) cacher contact them with an individual request.

Some porn company could then put the logo on their video boxes and Groundspeak couldn't do anything about it. I agree with Groundspeak's decision to protect their logo, and don't want to take this thread off into some convoluted direction but... geoporn? Nevermind.... I don't want to know.

  8. Wizmo does the orbital boogy quite nicely. I use it for other things as well, but nothing gets my monitor into a flurry like balls in motion.

    New Waypoint IDs

    What about dash marks + - and & signs?? Are there any GPS units that can't make use of these?

  11. People with twisted avatars... that's just not right.

  13. Waste not want not.... Mudhouse11 please.... (no that's not a punk band) [This message was edited by Pubo on October 03, 2002 at 09:36 PM.]
  14. Those are wonderful coins and I'm sure you'll be happy, but let me get this straight. Rhode Island has coins *BEFORE* California? Must be "the cheese" holding us up.
  15. quote:Originally posted by Jamie Z:What I'm getting at is that you've got good intentions, I just don't think a geocache is an appropriate charity receptacle, physically or by definition. Jamie and...and...and..... There are far to many charity's out there to take the risk that this would be seen as another revenue stream. Even my kids PTA is hitting us up for ideas on how to raise funds. I like your heart, but am afraid of what these might start. Anyone who's ever donated to charity knows that they never let go of a revenue source once found.
  16. I think it's important that people don't alter things that you've created. [This message was edited by Pubo on September 30, 2002 at 05:26 PM.]
  17. It's hard to keep up with Dru and Bret but...
  18. A rather lame attempt at humor. I used this site to create the strip.

  22. quote:Originally posted by ApK:Just one more example of how life is better with broadband. Not to comment on any particular user, but the issue isn't the bandwidth of your internet connection, it's the bandwidth of your eyes that's the real limiting factor. I'm on dial-up and use Mozilla. I load a few pages [tabs] and read the first while some additional pages load in the background. If I used a OC-96 line [5 Gb/s](like the ones that make up much of the backbone of the internet) I still couldn't read any faster. Don't go here.
