Oh Beep! My Question!

Cool beans! My "Ask Dr D" question aired on the Oh Beep! Geocaching podcast (episode 62).

Listen at minute 40:31 where they sort of... Well, not really... answered my question.

Yo, Fools! It's pronounced "Mish-igan"!

Wherigos: Shout-out to Michigan Geocachers

Michigan Geocachers rock!  Woot!

I was listening to this week's Oh Beep! Geocaching podcast (episode 58).  Eric, from Groundspeak, and Mark, from the UK, were talking about the differences in geocaching dependent on the region/country. 

Then Mark asked Eric about the future of Wherigo.  Eric said some determinations were to be made within the next 6-9 months.  Then (around minute 25:45 of the recording) Eric made mention along the lines of "talk about how different folks play…. In Michigan, in the United States, they [Wherigos] are pretty popular".

Granted, it was a small mention, but my friends and I have been creating some fabulous Wherigos lately using Ranger Fox's Wherigo\\kit.  I just thought it's cool that someone from Seattle was talking to someone in Great Britain and Michigan came up.

Oh Beep! It's Geo-Resolution Time Again!

I had quite the chuckle on my drive in this morning.  Dr. D, of The Oh Beep! Geocaching Podcast (UK), tried to do a female American accent! Better yet…. MINE! (There’s a reason I’m a blogger and not a podcaster).

Mark (aka Banana Source aka Dr. D’s Dad) asked Facebook followers to post how they did with their 2014 Geo-goals.  Here were mine:

On this week’s episode, Welcome to 2015 (the one where we talk about geocaching goals), they read them off.  Now, normally Dr. D’s offensiving of Americans and our accents can get…. well… let’s just say a little tiresome… But I thought this was a hoot!  Listening on my way into work, I swerved & gasped when I realized he was “speaking me”.

Check it out!  That part is around minute 32:50 in the show. 

A big THANK YOU to Mark for pronouncing my name correctly – that was almost as big of a shock as hearing my resolutions on air.

I did have a laugh at Dr. D’s expense though.  Mark was playing sound clips from past shows talking about their 2014 goals.  Boy, can you hear the change in Dr. D’s voice! Priceless. 

Since we're on the topic of geo-resolutions...

Scrapcat’s 2015 Geo-Resolutions

1. Pass the 3-year mark of my cache-a-day streak (I only have 53 days to go).

2. Claim at least 6 more Earth Caches, bringing my total to 30.

3. Qualify for the Historic Caches of Michigan Counties MetaChallenge GC30JWA.  TaGeez and I have completed 7 of the 10 challenges required to qualify.

4. I only have 4 squares left on my JASMER.  As we’re unsure of TaGeez’s work status, I will target only two (but hope for all 4) for 2015.

Wish me luck!
