This travelbug wishes is to visit viking related geocaches. Burial mounds, historic sites and cities, invaded towns, places where the Vikings trade and anything else that can be related to Vikings.
However! Don't be afraid to take me to see other caches!
Photologs are always welcome!
The travel bug is a bluetooth module for computers if you ever wondered :-)
Why is Bluetooth Called Bluetooth? (Hint: Vikings!)
Ever wonder how the handy Bluetooth technology acquired its odd name?
Not surprisingly, it had nothing to do with teeth or being blue. Rather, the name traces back to Swedish telecommunication company Ericsson’s Viking heritage. Bluetooth creates a secure means of exchanging wireless data amongst several different devices. Pondering over a name for this newly developed technology, its predominantly Scandinavian creators recalled the legend of Danish viking king Harald Blåtand.
According to lore, Blåtand had, at that time, an uncanny ability to bring people together in non-violent negotiations. His way with words and communication went so far as uniting Denmark and Norway as a single territory. The English translation of Blåtand - you guessed it – is blue-tooth.
