I've created a new twitter ID: todays_tool for Guy's tool of the day.

In other news, this site is temporarily on hold. Please check back next month, or better yet, let me know what you think I should do with it.

Mission Statement

After a little soul searching, I've re-evaluated the purpose of this blog. I'll try pointing it toward Geocaching. Maybe a technical, hardware and software view. Be careful, I'll tech you to death.

Paul called me about GCGRVJ Loopy Landmarks. The waypoint off North Broadway may be missing. I told him to go slightly West and look for the Hot Fish sign.

My exploits in Android Cell Phone Geocaching continue. More about that soon. For those using Palm, check out my beginners guide to Cachemate.

I hope to do a little caching in Chase county and Ponca City, Oklahoma soon.

Learning how to blog, or B101.

OK, it helps to turn some things on, others off. Maybe now SOMEONE will see this rabble and give me a pico of feedback. I also took the opportunity to work on the design of this blog. I'm hoping the Aesthetics are acceptable.

Blog Intro:

Well, I suppose it might be best to start out with a little history. I am mid-50's years old, trained in electronics and have played with computers since 1971 (That's pre-PC). I'm a ham radio buff, ABØDP and do Geocaching for fun. I am retired from the company: Rockwell Collins. Well actually, I am disabled. I still have a job, I just can't go work there. It is strange. I have spent over 30 years servicing electronics, and over 22 years of that at Collins. I am married, with four grown children and one grandchild.

My first web site was way back in about 1995. And I've had several since, for different reasons. Mainly because I just like writing. You will likely see references to that site: ksguy.com

I think most of this blog will be about my techie exploits. So, what's up with them? The current web site of course, ksguy.com. There I've done some family photo stuff, and a page about Kansas history. More recently I've let ham radio slide as I work on my social networking geekyness (Twitter, Flickr, Face Book, AIM and a lot of Google goodness).

And THAT has lead to a new Android smart phone. So I've ALSO been playing with reviews of phones, apps, hints and such. Yes, I'm staying busy. Now, the reviews have been slow to post on the web site, partly because I'm still learning the Android OS. THAT got me to thinking that maybe I'm using the wrong tools for that vein of thought. So here I am trying out this blog. We'll see.

OK, my first blog space. Only if you don't count the several web sites I've owned.

This will be interesting for me and probably mildly entertaining for you. We'll see what develops, hu.
