What time is it? GEOCACHING ADVENTURE TIME!

So, Firstly, what IS geocaching?

Well, people get a container and put stuff in it and then hide it somewhere and then post the coordinates online. Then you, armed with your gps enabled device go, and find it. They have them all over the world.

The path

My gps enabled device tells me it's in here

Ohoho! So sneaky!

Tadaa~

Look at all the cool stuff in there.

A closer look at what on the bottom.. wait... is that...

OH GOD A POORLY PHOTOSHOPPED DINOSAUR!

WTF WHY DOES IT HAVE LAZER BEAM EYES!?

  

WHAT HAVE I DOOOOOOOOOOOONE!?

Eventually the Canadian military killed the giant poorly photoshopped dinosaur..

and then this happened.



So yeah, That's geocaching. It's kind of boring if you do it alone. Especially when the stuff is hidden near schools. Then you just creep around with your phone out looking in bushes and stuff... 

Getting started.

So! I've never had a blog before. I dunno if I have too much to write about. SO lets talk about my phone

I recently got a new phone (http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/overview/xperiax10) and it's a frikken sexy phone. I've never seen a better looking phone. Only problem is that it's running android 1.6 which is an older version of the android platform. I'm abit disappointed with how Sony Ericsson is supporting (or lack there of) the phone.

I dunno if any of you are familiar with android phones and how they differ from the iPhone or a Blackberry. I heard a very good comparison of the iPhone and an android phone... The iPhone is like a walled garden. It's beautiful and works well.. but you have to stay within the walls. Where an Android phone is like a massive field where you can plant as many flowers or bushes or trees as you'd like.

Anyways back to the phone. It has an 8mp camera.. and I'm not sure if it's one of those things that means more mega pixels the better. I have taken a picture of my spider plant with the default camera app and then "vignette" from the android market. So here is a comparison. both are images clipped at 100% and then have a segment blown up to show some detail.

In my opinion the default camera app renders images better. Vignette seems to have a lot of noise in the image.

This is getting rather long. So I shall leave (leaf, HA it's funny cause it's a picture of leaves....) off here and ask...

What is your phone of choice, and if you're running an Android phone, what is your favorite camera app?

Till tomorrow
