Astronaut Farmer I enjoyed it there were some technical problems, but it is a very entertaining movie.  It is viewable by all ages and encourages people to pursue their dreams despite what they are told my others, including the government.  11:12:11 PM    comment []

Geocaching Geocaching is a sport where you are given the coordinates of a cache, and have to go find it to log that you were there. It has a cloak and dagger feel to it, and I think it is kind of fun. Even though I haven't found many yet. You may be wondering why this post is also posted to my voip page. Well, I am putting together a micro/semi virtual cache. Once I have everything it will pop up. OK this may be a spoiler if you are looking for this cache when it goes live, but here is my description. The cache will lead you to a phone booth. Under the coin box of the phone you will find a magnetic business card that will identify it as the geocache and have a 1800 number on it. Dial the number from the phone in the phonebooth. My asterisk box will get the call and if you are calling from the correct phone, will play you a message, and let you leave a voicemail log. If you call the number from another phone (your mobile phone perhaps) it will tell you to use the public phone provided. This will give me the ability to set up multiple caches with the same phone number since it relies on the callerid of the payphone to identify the cache. I am currently waiting on the magnetic business cards with the correct phone number on them. I tried using Teliax, but I cannot call their 800 numbers from verizon public phones. I have checked out the number I have from nuphone though and it works. I expect this will go live within the next week or two. 8:59:39 AM    comment []
