Just had a Pokémon Go player walk right into my path for the SECOND time.

He just did walk right into the street starring into his phone. I just barely managed to swerve around him and he had the gall to yell at me "#!@#$ you I just lost the nidorino!!!" This stupid, racist game is a bike safety menace and should be banned.

Saturday. Out for a ride with the Dog & Dahon. Here comes a twenty-something down the trail at Tri-County Park. Oh yeah, he is out for a poke-zombie walk... Phone in one hand... And?!? A golf club in the other!! Oh yeah. After what he read on the internet about the "real world", I guess he was taking no chances.

The North Shore Channel Trail this weekend was like a g*****n Walking Dead episode.

At least some of my stock holdings are increasing.

When Google spun off Niantic I figured they had to have a plan and that Ingress was a proof of concept for it. Pokemon is a great franchise to use the technology thanks to the TV show.
