+Do-Man Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Ok, I have been doing this for a bit. When I have folks over to the house and start talking about what I am doing, geocaching, they have a hard time understanding... It would be nice if I could print out all the caches I have found, for some range of time (maybe the last page have the ones I did not find). First page would look like my profile page! A page on each cache, similar to website and details. Include photos at each waypoint. Show only my logs. Show map like website. Is there anything out there like that. Any one have a macro for GSAK to do this? If so I could get it bound and place some fancy cover on it and put it on my coffee table! Who knows after a few more years I could have a Volume II.

+mtn-man Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Funny, I've been thinking about a book. I've joined a site called smugmug to upload photos. Using a partner site, you can actually make your own coffee table book. http://www.blurb.com/partner/smugmug Looks like fun to me. Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I organize all my caching photos, along with images of maps and some cover slides, into slideshows using PaintShop Pro. Adobe Photoshop would work just as well. I can show any geocaching trip album on my flat screen TV. It's "connected" via my wireless router to the desktop computer in the next room where the images are stored. It's a digital coffee table book. The coffee table is vertical instead of horizontal.

+mtn-man Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 That's pretty cool. Does the TV have wireless or is it connected to the router? Quote Link to comment
+TrailGators Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 If you get a PS3 you can connect to any PC to view your photos and videos. You can use wireless or wired. Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 The TV's an internet ready HP MediaSmart. You can hook it up with either a cable or by wireless. You can play slideshows, YouTube videos, downloaded movies, etc. It's hard to describe the thrill of having pictures of hamsters flash across a 42 inch screen every 15 seconds in High-Def.

+Isonzo Karst Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 It's hard to describe the thrill of having pictures of hamsters flash across a 42 inch screen every 15 seconds in High-Def. Timing on that seems a tad slow - but I'm totally with you on the difficulty of explaining the thrill; unless some of the shots are of Angie holding the hamsters. Quote Link to comment
+BrrrMo Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Could someone explain this hamster business in relation to GeoCacheing? It must have startred before I became involved. Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hamstercaching began in Pittsburgh in 2003 and has since spread to become an international phenomenon as a geocaching "side game," much like trackable geocoins. Hamsters are not trackable, however, so Groundspeak will not give us our own forum section about them. So, I can't say much more without taking the thread off-topic. So, what are some other ways which people use to display their geocaching adventures? Quote Link to comment
+spotter/g Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Since day (find) one I have been keeping everything geocache related in my 'notebooks'. I still am a paper cacher, so I print every page for every cache I look for. I keep notes on the page, such as what I trades for, critter sightings, etc. I also take many photos. When I am back hope, I put everything from the day into the notebook, (really just a 3 ring binder) and then get the pics I like the best printed and stick them in also. I also make a print out of the online log to keep as well. I guess I got a lot of time on my hands! But its a lot of fun for me to be able to look back anytime and see everything I've done. Luckily I only find 6 or 8 or so at a time, and cache about twice a month in summer otherwise my note books would take over the house! (I have 17 now!) Good luck keeping your memories together, it is very rewarding looking at the memories, and sharing them as well. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 My big goal for 2009 is to take a picture at each and every cache I visit. I am going to create a scrapbook of sorts for the year. Really something for my boys in future years. Quote Link to comment
+Smokey Bear Collector Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 try using MYPUBLISHER>com you choose a photo book style, upload and place your photos then upload it to them and they publish it with a nice dustcover...just like a book from the bookstore! i do this with my caching vacations.
