Is Steve Jobs a Geocacher?

[russ_c]

Silly questions, but it has a relevant connection...

 

I was out caching at lunch today and found a cache that has a travel bug called "Byte My Apple". It began in Oregon from an elemtary school class tech project in the hopes of making it to the hands of Steve Jobs (Apples CEO). What is most relevant is I found this in a cache about 15 miles from Apple's headquarters. I decided that I could help this cache along by at least getting it within a mile, but felt compelled to also compose an email to his executive staff in the hopes it will filter through to him.

 

I just thought that knowing if geocaching was an interest of his or not might make the difference in the emails context.

 

Thanks for any answer

I kind of doubt it.

 

Here is an article that suggests Apple is using its muscle

to force AT&T to cripple the RIM Blackberry's GPS

functionality so as to make it less attractive to Apples'

iPhone.

I think it's more likely that Steve Jobs would steal the concept of geocaching and call it Icaching, then claim to have discovered/invented the whole thing.

So true about so many of Apple's products. Although to be fair - they don't really claim to be the inventor but hey do take a lot of credit for things they didn't invent.

 

Maybe that is why Al Gore sits on Apple's board.....

Pshew-visiting the site makes me feel better, I was nervous for a minute there.

If Jobs was a geocacher, the iphone would have come with full GPS and caching software. It didn't.

 

But I still want one.......

So I guess we're still stuck with Wil Wheaton, the drummer from Poison, and some B movie actress?

Steve Jobs is about as fascinating as any of those celebs aren't.

Who

Cares?

 

not me, that's for sure...

[+WalruZ]

there are a number of apple employees that cache - try posting this question to the local forums at thegba.net

Don't forget the guys who created Veggie Tales. There is an easter egg of them caching on Minnesota Cuke

Thanks for the on topic tip Walruz! I'll try those forums instead.

If Jobs was a cacher, the iPod would take PQ's.

Hey, she won a Golden Globe, can't be that bad.

Which has to do with the subject at hand... how?

 

Back on subject - if you're that close, you're bound to know someone, or at least a FOAF, who works in the mother ship. I'd get it into their hands, and see what they can do. An insider will get further than an outsider.

who cares about steve jobs at least WE have geocaching

Now *that* is cool. I just bought Moe and the Big Exit for the boys today and pre-ordered The Wizard of Ha's for them for Christmas. They are NUTS about Bob and Larry.

Which actress are we talking about? It doesn't sound like Mitsuko.

Exactly, I don't care if Steve Jobs caches (although it would help in this case), I'm just making an attempt to help a travel bug on it's way...isn't that what part of this hobby is about? On another forum someone from the local area suggested an in so I'm going to go for it and see what happens.

 

Thanks

[+ADKcachers]

Yeah, we did get a bit carried away on this one didn't we?

[+Renegade Knight]

... B movie actress?

 

That's got to be better than my C list career.

Mia Farrow.

[+The Leprechauns]

Indeed. I would hardly call Mia Farrow a B actress. I'd be extra nice because of how she spoke kindly about geocaching.

 

I would like to think that Jobs would be receptive to geocaching, due to his inquisitive entrepreneurial nature. I hope we get the chance to find out.

Oh sure. They haven't logged on in over 2 years, and found only 5 caches in '05. But 3 of the 5 caches were by JoGPS, he's kinda famous!! Oh-oh, I'd better say something on topic. Downloading non-ITunes downloaded music into an IPOD is a PITA. Not mine, I couldn't care less. It's my daughters.

I had heard about Wil, but you got to be kidding the drummer from Poison, that is sweet!!!!

 

And depending on what kind of B movies, B Horror movies are ok...

I think that is i-ca-ching.

 

And Mia Farrow? Wow that surprises me.

Dadgum it all, if this thread gets closed, I take full responsibility. Wheaton and the Poison Drummer, dabbled in geocaching and are inactive, like tens of thousands of non-famous people. You never know though, they could come back. "B movie actress" was proabably an unfair assessment by me, and according to Ambrosia in post #16 she won a Golden Globe? She's active, and even an FTF hound. Anyways, discussion of all three, and links to their profiles are in This Thread

I think you have one and play with it as I do - so try this <a href="http://dadnson.mysteria.cz/iluvgc.jpg">wallpaper</a> I have created for my "iBaby"
