Two apprentices were sent to measure a flag pole, and after trying to measure with tape, which bent and fell, trying to climb and sliding down and measuring the shadow but not knowing what to do with it, a salty old party chief noticed their dilema and ask what their problem was.

Paper maps are becoming obsolete.  A talk about the lack of accuracy in our GPS.  You will want to watch this video talk: Todd Humphreys: How to fool a GPS

Less than 18 days until we measure the planet as a community during the course of a single day.  Get involved!

So today let's talk about what an effective How-To tutorial contains. A 'How-To' tutorial is by far one of the most common post types used by almost every blogger, writer or expert online. Why? Because people search for answers when they don't have them already. Inherently, 'How-To' po
