Fred Kerner:
If the earth was hurtling toward the sun, I don't think I'd grab a gun or a rope, I think I'd put my bathing suit on and climb the highest mountain I could.
-
Fred Kerner:
Or I'd play a lot of skyrim.
-
Fred Kerner:
i don't have xbox live.
-
Fred Kerner:
oh, all i can think about anymore is playing skyrim. my passport's staying until it can't anymore.
-
Ben Murphy:
I'm not sure I understand why everyone is rushing to delete their passport?
-
Colin Chorley:
I'm quite happy keeping the passport for as long as its there and available. If the export of data that Josh says actually happens then I would quite like to have that. If I delete the account then no guarantee of getting that export.
-
Ben Murphy:
personally, i'm still hoping for a miracle.
-
Awan Guntura:
I agree, Colin. I'm keeping mine, hope they'll export all of our 'memories' of Gowalla... specially the pins & photos.
-
Mark May:
Keeping mine till the end. They can pry if from hands.
-
Blake Marquette:
It would be nice if there was a way to export the data into a Google Earth file or something like that.
-
Blake Marquette:
Secondary thought, all the pins on the map could be the stamps and custom stamps, that way they would never die for those of us who loved them.
-
Fred Kerner:
i'm going through now and printing out all of the stamps that i visited, but also seeing all of the ones that were produced, and holy god, this was an amazing run. yeah, it's a lot austin centric, but there have been some true works of art produced with this app.

Robert Perez:

Fred Kerner:
gowalla is probably the most frustrating company i have ever had the dilemma of falling in love with.
Ben at VooDoo Lounge
After two years and two days, gowalla is moved to a folder on the last page of my phone. It was great once, but I expect them to kill it. RIP.
-
Roger Penguino:
Specially sad because Facebook will likely just kill off Gowalla entirely. Maybe it could be kept alive through its features to enhance Timeline, but something tells me all the color and life will be drained out.
-
Ben Murphy:
I don't think they would bother, or that JW would fight to keep it alive. In my dealings with gowalla employees, I was never under the impression that they really gave a crap about us. We were just a means to an end, to populate their database.

Sometimes I check in a lot. I can eat my weight in pizza pie. Chicken wing connoisseur. Beer drinker, hell raiser.
Highlights
Scenic Lookout in Hancock
Best view, IMO, is afforded when taking the scenic US40 route as the ramp ties back into the interstate.
Plaza/Square in York
Steel from the World Trade Center makes up the top portion of the monument.
