Discussion: O on TV in Boston

How bizarre! I was sitting watching Arthur with my 10 year old cousin in Framingham today, when on pops a five minute section on orienteering on Boston Common by CSU! It was a really good clip - does anyone know if it's online somewhere?

I saw that one about a year or so ago. It was pretty well done. Haven't seen it on-line.

Just saw a short cut this morning from the PBS show called 'BizKids' about a kid who compared orienteering to picking stocks. Since it was a show about 'biz' they focused on his stock picking techniques/abilities, but there were some good shots of him running with a map and navigating.

I didn't catch his name, but it looked like Pacific NW terrain (not that I would really know what that looked like) After looking at the website it looks like it might have been episode #21. The site has some of the older episodes up for viewing, but not this one yet.

Ah yes, episode #802 "Fernfern and the Secret of Moose Mountain". I don't know if it's on line, but I do know that the little boy in the orienteering segment is my buddy, Attackpoint's very own chip30.

jj,
May I say it is a little scary that you know that link? It might be a little scarier that I clicked on it, scrolled down to the episode, then checked out the "cooperate" activity.

I didn't know it off the top of my head, I just googled it. But I've definitely seen the episode. (Stephen has been in a couple of other PBS kid show segments, as well.)
