We're talking about the online/offline game
Foursquare this morning, and we're playing a game on air and online at The Takeaway.
It's easy to play. Call us at
1-877-8-MY-TAKE, email us at
mytake@thetakeaway.org, or leave a comment to check in. Tell us
where you are and
what you're doing. Be as specific as possible. And don't forget to
tell us your name or handle!
You know what we're doing right now. It's time to tell us what YOU'RE doing! No matter how mundane or insane! If you're in the kitchen: Call us. If you're on the subway: Call us. Fleeing the country? Call us! You get a point each time you check in. And you'll get bonus points for frequency and outlandishness. Look for a leader board Friday morning at
thetakeaway.org.

the absurd satisfaction of playing Foursquare.

I'm at work programming. http://www.twitter.com/Jerlyn
I'm at work at a mental health crisis clinic on the central coast of WA state. It's a slow day and that's a VERY good thing in this line of work!
I am in work working on our new software system watching the rain and wondering if business will ever pick up.
I'm pitching story ideas to my editors at The Takeaway (full disclosure, I'm the science producer), while I sit on my medicine ball at a desk overcrowded with electronic equipment. I'm sitting at my desk in my bedroom that overlooks the rainy back garden here in BK, and I'm gearing up for the long day. I'm writing this post as I stall on taking a shower.
I'm in Detroit at Henry Ford Hospital, making microscope slide sections of bone samples for an osteoporosis study funded by the NIH.
Just got back from an early morning Dentist appointment. No cavities!

I am in Massachusetts listening to the Takeaway on line from KWMU-2 in St. Louis so I can hear more than the one hour of the program that is broadcast in Boston.

At work trying to hear the radio over my noisy office.
