Last month I took part in the. Not so this year. This year I was determined. I was going to take part in the hunt! More so, I was going to put together a team.

Friday 15 January 2010. Woke up at 7am, this despite the fact that my alarm wasn't scheduled to go off for another hour. Both unable to go back to sleep and unwilling to contemplate the very idea. I was bouncing up and down in excitement like a small child on Christmas morning. Mystery Hunt! Before the kick off....

Apparently I never posted my write-up of the. 2014 MIT Mystery Hunt. Started poking me in mid December, had I started preparing for hunt yet? Um, should I have?

This year that took the form of suggesting that anyone who planned to. Nap in our second room should "bring a tent". Indeed were it not for the grad c...

I might have gotten a little bit carried away in my write up of this year’s Mystery Hunt. So much so that I might have accidentally gone over the word limit for a single LJ post. In my defense, the longest hunt on record deserves the longest writeup on record. The 2013 MIT Mystery Hunt. Lots of excitement in the month leading up to hunt and also a lot to do, this because we were adding people to our roster and lots of things to sort out to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. As I’d been pi...

Camera advice? - Blinker
http://slinkr.livejournal.com/227744.html
Inspired by some photographer friends, I've picked up my camera again and I've been having a lot of fun with it lately. Unfortunately, it seems to have fallen victim to the Canon IXUS shutter sticking problem. It's mostly working but I'm not sure how long that will last. K's camera had this back in June when we were at. S wedding, and there's really not much you can do if the camera's out of warranty. So I probably need a new camera. 13th-Oct-2009 08:29 pm (UTC). 13th-Oct-2009 08:55 pm (UTC). Do you know...

A week or two ago,. Sent out a call for teams for a new event that he was running, an urban photo scavenger hunt through the city of Boston with random puzzles to sweeten the deal.

How about two teams? Had previously requested that we adopt one of his friends (. And Stephanie made up team Them and myself,. Of items from...
