Berlin, then and now

Flickr user Thomas “Location Scout” Duchnick has a gallery of photos taken in Berlin of places that appeared in classic movies, taken from the near-same angle, with Duchnick and friends standing in for any leading actors. Each photo is joined with the corresponding still from a classic Berlin movie.

Amazing to see how many things change yet stay the same…

Dear robber baron executives,

All that offshoring to India really turned out to be a great idea, huh?

GPS Hunts go live

Filed under: technology, fun, geek, geography — k @ 9:16 pm

GPS The Game (not to be confused with GPS The Movie) recently kicked off their Live Hunts, the RL and traditional form of what the site carefully calls “GPS Hunts” (known to the rest of us not mired in the relevant social politics as Geocaches).

Kradeleet went out with caching partner R on a few in the area, which happens to be Ground Zero of geocaching. Given the breadth of cache hides we’ve been exposed to, there ain’t much you can impress us with; stumps and parallel sticks just aren’t special. That being said, the real life hunts are tied to more of the often challenging and tricky online puzzles.
