Geocaching

by kai on 08/03/2006

Finally, we've started geocaching. I bought a basic Garmin GPS device (eTrex Legend) last week in Australia and it worked out fine. The other night I was thinking about getting an additional maps, containing more details. I was pretty close to buying a mappack but then I found the New Zealand Open GPS Map Project for Garmin. Awesome stuff of very high quality!

Back to the 70s/80s

Not just back from Sydney and webDU - also back to the last century ;) Guys in my age or slightly younger or older might remember the concept of audio tapes. You know, the stuff people used to listen to music before the CD or the DVD was invented. The stuff you used to record music on to give as a present to your favourite girl in school...

Welcome back then and klick here to get the best of audio tapes... ;)

Let's do the timewarp again...

by kai on 16/08/2005

Back in the late nineties, a lot of companies burned their cash for...well...ideas, dreams of getting rich, Sun 450 servers, over-priced Oracle licenses, sushi for lunch, an expensive office and some more stuff. I used to work for one on those companies in 2000 and had some sort of timewarp experience just recently. A former work-mate of mine started blogging and found some old sites we built and…

by marcus on 18/07/2005

Now, if THAT's not a keyboard...
Each key of the Optimus Keyboard contains an independent TFT-Display instead of a classic sticker ;-)

by kai on 26/04/2005

This is a cool one: world66 is some sort of community travel guide.I just found it today via one of the links of queen of the sky (she's the delta flight attendant who got fired last year due to blogging and inappropriate behaviour - the pics in question are quite nice ;-). However, world66 offers the service of personal discovery maps... using them I found out that I just visited 7% of the world…
