It may be fun to say, but it doesn't exactly instill much technical confidence in the person or entity that is pushing the newfangled "hoobajoob" on you.

He is daring (sometimes) and romantic (with enough rum), an excellent swordsman (Best Performance Involving A Poker) and an inspirational leader (no). But what sets him apart from Barbossa and Blackbeard? Is it his rugged good looks, his dreadlocks and multiple piercings? His bizarre charisma and Read the Rest...]]> http://gpstrackinginfo.com/on-stranger-tides-not-as-strange-with-mtrip/1145/feed 0 http://gpstrackinginfo.com/gps-goes-back-to-school/1138 http://gpstrackinginfo.com/gps-goes-back-to-school/1138#comments Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:13:47 +0000 Evan Kessler http://gpstrackinginfo.com/?p=1138 For many parents the summer is a carefree time when keeping tabs on your kids is as easy as sending them to summer camp, or having them accompany you on a family vacation to a Old West desert mining town where the only danger is boarded up, abandoned mine shafts.

Roy Joseph and Paul Fox were "geocaching" in their off-road jeep on the Colorado-Utah border the week of August 25th.

White-collar and non-violent crimes are just as rampant, if not more so, than violent crimes, and yet we choose to punish the offenders the same way: by confining them in dingy prisons controlled by the government.

They are slowly making their way up the endangered species list, and scientists have had to act quickly.
