More MathWorks Bling for Grabs

Recently I posted about some "hidden" MathWorks swag in the LA area. Congratulations to Tony who posted some information on his find. He photographed the location as well as some video.

Today you might find another led/laser flashlight in the Miami area. A hint for you: Back corner, down low, hidden like a pearl. A location with a great view. Take a moment to "soak it in."

Please post here if you are the one to find the flashlight. Please include links to pictures or videos if you take any! Good luck and have fun.

    Hey Loren,

    I went and found the “bling” yesterday afternoon. It was good fun, and I posted some pictures and a write-up about it here http://blinkdagger.com/uncategorized/geocaching-with-loren

    Thanks for a nice little adventure!

    Thanks for the very entertaining post. I’m glad you enjoyed Sam’s buried treasure and are paying it forward!

    Hey Loren,

    The goods have been re-cached for the next person to find. You can get the location details and hint here:

    Rob/Loren,

    I’ve snagged the recent cache in Colorado and posted the adventure here:

    I will relocate it on my next trip out of state. Is the secret code used for anything? A log of the device’s journey maybe? Let me know if there’s anything I need to do with it.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
