Geocaching (Not geocatching, as I thought for the first 3 months)

If you haven't already heard, there are THOUSANDS (just look to your left a few pixels to see) of hidden treasure boxes places throughout the world that you can find, take something out of, and replace with something else - trade hunting, if you will.

All you need: A smartphone!

There could be one in your neighborhood, because there was one in mine, and.........come on, the population is in the few thousands!

Sorry for the terrible screenshot, Chrome OS doesnt have a selection screenshot YET :D

The most Ghettotastic city...... EVER: Reloaded

The Kowloon Walled City:



I am really upset this complex was torn down in the early 90's, because I wanted to see this for myself. I mean, LOOK AT THAT! ................And people said the South Bronx was ghetto, PFFT!

Check out the Wiki page, for that's unfortunately the best post on it I could find....

A: Who's the funny guy who created an ad.fly to my site?!
Look: http://adf.ly/50856/jcoinster.blogspot.com/2011/06/hey-cr48-users-googles-hiding-something.html

B: And why are so many people from Russia visiting my site?
(Yoyoyo Russians!)
C: Why does my site come up when you search "enjoyable peeing"?!?!

This has been a JCoinster Update.

The British really are crazy. An Ice Cream Tru.......Boat?

That's right! The British have amazed me yet again........
I wonder how their business is on a rainy day.

HEY CR48 USERS! Google's hiding something from us!

.....And apparently it's been 6 months!

Says it all on the forum:

But what is it?

The News Doesn't Check ANYTHING! - This is proof

This institute did not exist. Just Saying.

Rant: WHY DONT WE REALIZE ALL ELECTRIC CARS ARE JUST AS BAD AS GAS CARS

Take this commercial for the new All Electric Nissan Leaf (Nice name right?)

In case you live under a rock, all of our electricity is powered by coal plants, nuclear plants, wind mills, solar panels or dams (which are known for killing salmon).

Now, if you're thinking, "but wind and solar power are still good for the environment!?"
Well, they sure are! Too bad we get barely a single percent of energy from them (as of 2006)

Look down.......

Enjoy your coal-powered "electric" car!

Now before you make any conclusions!!
Hybrid cars are the good ones! The gas engine charges the battery, so no need to ever plug it in!

Now go buy a Prius.

I've gone mobile!

For anyone who has a respectable phone, fire up Google Goggles and check out my mobile version of my site! I still dont get how these things havent ran out of combinations
