I do. I haven't actually cashed in for anything yet, but I like that you get points just for walking in places. Some days you get more points than others. You can also scan items in the stores to get points.

My friend worked at target and ended up earning an extra $5 each month in free rewards.

One of my friends does this all the time. She has gotten a $250 from Lowes, $100 from Kohls or Target or somewhere. She is always on it when we go for coffee and talks not stop about it, so i kinda tune out. apparently it works.

If you search the CCCP board, this has come up a few times over the years. Lots of interesting links and stories and theories.

I figured it had, but I wasn't sure if it was the same treasure that I vaguely heard about before. Unfortunately, I don't know of any cool New York Treasures to search for other than letterboxes.

I wasn't knocking on you for posting about it. Another update on that story is cool, keeps it in the back of the mind. I was just pointing out where someone could find further information and discussions.

I don't know of any cool New York Treasures

Have you heard of The Beale Ciphers? Virginia still isn't New York, but closer.

My computer is running slow so I only saw the first couple, but these are amazing. I think I have received an LTC similar to the first one, but that tracker was labeled 'optical illusions' rather than metamorphic art. I'm going to have to try the first one for myself. It's beautiful and within my carving ability.

Ooh, I can picture a certain Frog carving the Van Gogh (hint, hint--I want one)

Do an image Google search for the term forced perspective. Tell me if that doesn't give you some ideas for photos to take the next time you're out letterboxing! =)

I wasn't sure if I should post this in musical musings, art corner, or ... steampunk tendencies... but anyway here's a really cool video:

Where is the "HOLY COW THAT IS SO COOL" button when you need it ?!? :)

Wow! As a musician since I was really little I have wanted a "one man band" (inspired by Bert from Mary Poppins :) ). This could be the answer to everything I have been looking for!!!

I have to admit I stared at the computer so much at the end I realized that I almost starting drooling...
Thank you so much!

Ok, as someone who used to have a very hard time getting respect as a woman in the pool world (in pool halls and in the pro pool circuit), I'm going to bite my tongue about his... prop.

Always enjoy some fun trick shots though!

Agree. I got it from a man and it's absolutely made for a male audience.

So cool. Nasa's "Blue Marble" in the style of "Starry Night" = awesome.

Apparently there's a crazy queue for images right now, but it's worth the wait for an email I promise.

It looks fun. Are you supposed to upload your own image style? It did not give me.an option to choose one.
