Snopes

In this age of the internet, it is easy to find information. the only thing that is easier is finding misinformation. If you want help sorting out the fact from fiction, check out snopes here. Please do everyone on your mailing list a favor and check out the fact on snopes before you forward it. One of those people might be me and I would appreciate it.

Geo Games

I have been out enjoying geo games. On Good Friday, I did a waymark of the mausoleum pictured above. (Link)I always though mausoleums were neat and now I get to share where I find them.

I was also able to place my first cache. It is an earthcache and can be found here. It has been found which really geeked me out. Sometimes I wish waymarking was more popular so people would find those more but I think that will come. I think it is funny that ther ewere quite a few earthcaches that were barely found when it was on waymarking but as soon as they went back to geocaching, it took off. Waymarking isn't perfect but it does have some advantages over caching and vice versa. Time to get off my soapbox.

Slacker Astronomy

I love astronomy and I am often a slacker when it comes to going out and watching the night sky. I think that is why I like the slacker astronomy website and podcast. I can relate. Check it out here.

Sock Puppet

I hang out on the feartheboot.com forums. There is a forumite call Noble Bear who does some great art work and did the above picture. For some reason this sock puppet just tickles the heck out of me.

April 15, 1865

Abraham Lincoln died on this date in 1865. Thanks to the IRS, there is still weeping and mourning on the anniversary of his death. Wikipedia has an article on how tax day came around and can be seen here.
