My new handheld GPS - The Magellan Triton 400

2009-07-21T06:04:00.000-07:00

This video defines the Triton series. I have the 400 model number, it is the same interface, but I lack certain maps and the ability to take digital photos. This video should give you an idea of the new handheld I purchased to assist my iphone out in the field.

Dazzle Coin's Tour out GeoTiki Studios! Awsome!

2008-02-26T17:31:00.000-08:00

If you watch my website, you should know I am a fan of the hand made geotiki.com geocoins. Tiki is an artist living in Hawaii - also a geocacher of course. I began following their coin series early on and I own one silver fellow and a bronze of almost all the other entries into their series.

I sent one of my own Dazzle Chihuahua coins with a coworker/geocacher on the way to the islands on business. He took a series of photos of the coin around Hawaii, dropped it in a cache and now a year later the coin has realized it's goal.

The goal was to get into Tiki's hands and take a tour of the mysterious studio where the sacred coins are made.

This is so cool! I am very excited to report that Dazzle has arrived and the photos are in!

Thanks Tiki! This was so much fun for me! If anyone wants more info on Tiki the artist/geocacher and the series, visit Geotiki.com

New CacheRock Travel Bug Hybrid Test

2007-06-18T15:24:00.000-07:00

I have created a CacheRock, Travel bug hybrid. It is my first one and I plan to launch more out in the urban jungles.

This will be a paperless cache. There will be *NO logbook. I want geocaching.com to offer the option of "No Logbook" and issue a separate serial code for caches.

I feel it will improve the situation in the field. It is better for the environment by using less trees, saving the cache owner on gas, and producing no litter.

You cannot get credit for logging this cache without the travel bug being discovered.

Design Influence: Roy Lichtenstein

When I really started to like Litchenstein's work was when my classmate used his style to do her final project. A year later I was at the Museum of Modern art in New York, I confused his painting to be one of Andy Warhol's. What makes Roys work different was his use of "Benday Dots", a term used in the printing world coined by the inventor Benjamin Day. Benday Dots are similar to today's digital technique using pixels to form color, much like pointillism.

Andy and Roy's work were similar due their use of high contrasting colors and thick strokes. Roy applied his technique to "comic book" subject material, where Warhol would apply his color and strokes to different inspiring subjects.

I hope you enjoy these coins as it will be the LAST pocketpups.net series for quite some time. I will be experimenting with some new subject matter in upcoming projects.

Inspiration: Razzle Dazzle Camouflage *Click to Read More

Dazzle Camouflage is a form of Camo that was used in WWI on ships to keep them from being easy targets for torpedoes. Artists (Camofleurs) were hired to design schemes used that would distract range finders from being able to detect speed, distance and direction of their targets.

Since you cannot easily hide a huge ship, dazzle camo used very visible high contrasting colors curved and even zig-zag lines to confuse the person operating the rangefinder which had a very limited spectrum, so you can imagine what this thing looked like through a periscope.

Throughout history 'razzle' dazzle camouflage had gone on to also inspire art paintings, fashion and other forms of media, and now a geocoin.

Do you want a Custom GeoRock?

2006-12-17T16:45:00.000-08:00

If you want a Georock cache container with your own graphic symbol on it, well this is not impossible. If customization is your thing then I am willing to build it will come with a mold and graphic set-up fee of $100.00 and a 10 cache container minimum ($12.00 ea. for quantity orders) After the initial order, you can order in any quantity you would like.

•Note: Custom Graphic should be a chunky bold subject. Thin detailed art may not be applicable to this type of process. The less details the better.
