I got a really good deal on a Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx GPS receiver and I just couldn’t resist it. I was actually shopping for a Sony GPS-CS1 to help geotag the photos I upload to Flickr but the more I read up on the subject, the more I realized it would be stupid not to buy a full featured GPSr for just little over twice the price of the Sony unit. After a couple of hours more reading and searching, I stumbled across this thing called geocaching which seems to be a really fun and geeky hobby. There are so many uses of the GPSr I don’t know how I could live without one before - geotagging photos, geocaching, helping me find my way on the road and in the “bush”, logging roadtrips and hikes and display them graphically using Google Earth, etc. Two big annoyances though; the maps are horribly expensive, and, Garmin has not finished their MapSource software for Mac OS X yet so I have to fire up my Windows-box for certain tasks.

We have booked a flight with Sterling from Malaga to Copenhagen on the
4th of may. After seven months in Spain it feels quite good to go home
to Sweden in time for summer. Now I just have to get a job…

I’ve bought a Spanish Vodafone SIM-card so until May 2007 I can be reached on +34671218245.
