Ipod touch

If you are looking for a good toy for your technology obbseste kids
the ipod touch is the best. I have had mine for about 1 week and I
use it all the time. I love it so much that I wrote this post on it.
The ipod touch is so fun because of all the apps (applications) and
most of them are free. The principal fonction of the ipods are for
music, but when you will never use the music when you could play with
an app or go on the internet. When you get the ipod touth you get some
very good apps and you also get a youtube app free.

Ont he ipod I have found many photography related apps. So now I can up load picture to facebook, Flickr or picasa. You can also edit pictures on the ipod touth.

Travel bugs and geocoins

A travel bug is a little chain with a dog tag like the army, on it there is a code you must go to the cache site that you found it from and click on “found it”. You must also insert the code on the chain. Most travel bugs have a related item. Like example the HMMWV travel bug has a toy Hummer, because it is supposed go to specific places where they make Hummers.

Now geocoins, a geocoin is the same thing as a travel bug but it is a coin, and it does not have a chain. The login is the same too.

To drop it of is the easiest part you go to the cache website that you put it in and go “log your visit” and then click on write note. So you write a note like: Put travel bug (then the travel bug’s name) in cache. Near the bottom of the web page you will see a box that shows you all the travel bugs you have. If you do not see the box try all the steps again.

Geocaching 101

I have found the best way to have fun outdoors, it is called Geocaching. It's a game where you have to find plastic containers with coordinates with your GPS. The container should have items that other peoples can trade for other things.
It is almost world wide, so if you go on a trip you could find some caches. It is also a good bonding sport with your children and their parents. The Geocaching site has even made a special GPS for kids, but it only works for geocaching and not for getting to any location.

When you create a “traditional cache” you must place log book in (book to wright your name when you find the cache) in the container. There is also a few types of cache. Click here to see all the types of caches.
There is also a very long list of rules you must read before you hide your cache.
Please read the rules they are very important.

When you have found the cache you must wright your name in the log book. When you get home go to the cache page and click on Log your visit.

And select “found it”.

That is how you log the caches when you find them.
