Ahh Saturday, best day of the week, no work today, no work tomorrow.  But you have to have a hobby.  So what do nerds do for fun?  Well one idea you might try is Geocaching, it has been around for a while now (since 2000) but it is really picking up these days.  That coupled with the dropping cost of a decent GPS make geocaching a great weekend hobby.  So what is Geocaching you might ask? I say, hold on I will get to it, geez.  Geocaching is a sport where people hide things all over the place and you use a GPS and a set of coordinates to find them.  Now at first glance this sounds silly but it is terrific fun, you get out of your chair, that you probably spent most of the week in, you get out in the sun, and you get to have some nerdy fun with a GPS.  Try it sometime, get a GPS, it doesn’t matter what kind, a tom tom or a garmin or a puck for your pocket pc, and head over to http://geocaching.com.  Punch in your area code and see all the caches in your area.  Chances are if you have Internet and are thus in a populated enough area there will be a few if not a few dozen geocaches near by. 

If you do geocache already or if you give it a shot leave a comment about your first experience.
