A Different Path

Lately I am having issues with my ankles turning while on a dirt trail or geocaching. I think city hiking for a while is a good alternative. Future walks will include paved trails, parks, desire paths and green spaces.

More wandering, more flanuering. These evoke freedom, serendipity, and encounters with city life.

Long walks (nothing like Craig Mod’s expeditions across Japan though)to explore, quantify, document, record and archive my discoveries.

In the future, I will acquire a Garmin watch to help track and quantify these urban excursions. I believe they will do a better job than the Apple Watch currently on my wrist with a third-party app.

Body Over Mind

Which should I listen to? I’ve come to realize lately that my body has more self-wisdom than my mind. My mind tells me what I want to do, whereas the body tells me what I should do. Huge difference,

Should is moral and ethical dogma, when must is a bodily command.

Adventure Lab- Tulsa Street Art

From the creators of Geocaching.com comes a fairly new way to use GPS coordinates to find different locations and learn about them. I just published an Adventure that highlights some street murals in Tulsa.

AL is a free download and free to play. You can get it from the App store here.

This geocache hide from a friend was just pure evil. Took a bit and I even put my hands on it, but Miss Adventure found it first. Aargh.

Walk Talk

A diary or journal of a walk is a tough format to produce. The minutia is the core of the experience but it can be hard to translate 

I prefer essays about walking and public spaces that are more philosophical but unsure of how to do it.

A Better Map

There is a need for a Global Atlas of Pedestrian Infrastructure.

Maps of pedestrian bridges, desire paths, public parks and green spaces, pedestrian only roads, sidewalks to nowhere, trails and paths. 

No car infrastructure in any the maps.

Born To Do It

It’s none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way.

Tis The Season To Create

Every year between September and February, it seems I am my most creative and ambitious.

I am starting to feel it again here real soon.

We Have Liftoff

The test flight of Aero Mojo, the new drone, was a successful one. I almost lost it over the bypass but recovered nicely as shown in the video. The flight ended in a hard crash when encountering a pine tree but survived nicely!

Interest

Taking Advantage

Don’t you ever get the feeling that all your life is going by and you’re not taking advantage of it? Do you realize you’ve lived nearly half the time you have to live already?

Undo Regret

‘Between life and death there is a library,’ she said. ‘And within that library, the shelves go on for ever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be if you had made other choices… Would you have done anything different, if you had the chance to undo your regrets?’
