Leave it to a geek to really get a kick out of watching a small black arrow on a little LCD screen track his or her movements down the highway. That my friends is exaclty what I did this morning.

Yesterday after realizing that I am not as young as I used to be, and throwing my back out...quite effectively I must say...I made a short trip to Best Buy and picked up one of these. I got it really cheap, \'cause I used my gift certificate to pay for most of it. Anyway, needless to say, since I\'ve had alot of couch time, I\'ve been almost unable to put it down.

I left for the chiropractor this morning to get myself put back together, but I couldn\'t leave without the geeky goodness that only satellite navigation can provide. I immediately turned it on, waited for it to find three satellites in order to pinpoint my location on this great earth and drove off. I was completely dumbfounded at how well it tracked my speed, route, etc. It proved to be rather dangerous however, because I couldn\'t stop picking it up every time I passed an exit to see how close it was. This darn thing was dead-balls on. (Whatver that means).

Now I really can\'t wait to do some Geo Caching. There are apparently some nice geo-caches near my mother-in-law\'s house and I fully plan to put one up of my own. I\'ll let everyone know the coords if and when I do this.

I love bein\' a geek...
