All About Geocaching?

Posted by Cliff on from the high-tech-treasure-mapping-sport dept.

It doesn't come easy wonders: "While surfing the net, I ran across this commentary on Geocaching by Erin Joyce. My wife is keen on trying Geocaching one of these days and I began to wonder if anyone on Slashdot participates in this pastime? If you do, what do you use (equipment-wise) and what's your opinion on the sport?"

    It's like I decided to call the act of watching television 'dressing myself'.

    Geocaching is transparently caching an origin server so that the content is being served from somewhere close to the person seeking it. It's what Akamai do for Microsoft and Yahoo and Apple etc. with their Linux boxes.

    Geocaching is not wandering around with a GPS.
