add it up.

Ok, let’s be honest, my number one life goal at the moment is to find an awesome job at an innovative, creative agency or corporation. Nevertheless, I have an entirely different subset of goals that relate to the geo-location game of Foursquare.

When I first started playing Foursquare (back in October or so), my main motivation was to grab as many mayorships as possible. And I did, seeing as how I was maybe 1 of 10 people in the Athens area using the app. Over the past few months, I’ve seen my mayorships dwindle from about 9 (so close to that Super Mayor badge…sigh) to my current total: 1.

Thus, I’ve decided it is time to reevaluate my use of Foursquare. The pursuit of mayorships in Athens is futile, given that I will be relocating in about 5 weeks. My new goal in Foursquare is to collect as many badges as I can get my hoarding, iPhone carrying hands on.

Firstly, currently I possess these shiny badges:

Thanks to The Kruser, I was able to research all the badges I’d plan to obtain in the coming weeks:

Jetsetter

Requirement: 5 Airport Checkins
Strategy: I believe I have 4 checkins right now. I’m going to New York City next weekend, so a checkin at LaGuardia should accomplish this.

Far, Far Away

Requirement: Check in above 59^th Street in NYC
Strategy: While in NYC, I’ll be staying with a friend who lives in the 70’s, so a checkin about 59^th should be cake.

Barista

Requirement: Check in to 5 Starbucks locations
Strategy: I can believe I haven’t accomplished this yet. I must frequent the same Starbucks far to often. Branching out.

Bravo Newbie

Requirement: Check in at a Bravo rated location
Strategy: Not sure. I doubt I visit anywhere classy enough to warrant a Bravo ranking. In NYC, I’ll stroll down 5^th Ave, but I’ll probably get shunned.

Jobs

Requirement: Check in to 3 Apple stores
Strategy: Another badge I can’t believe I haven’t obtained yet. Oftentimes I visit Apple stores just to gawk at the pretty things I cannot afford. More window shopping, I suppose!

Zeotrope

Requirement: 10 checkins at venues tagged “theatre.”
Strategy: This one is a stretch. My wallet restrictions don’t allow me to see as many movies in the theatre as I would like. Too bad there isn’t a Netflix badge.

I’m on a Boat!

Requirement: Checkin at a venue tagged “boat”
Strategy: Hrmmm….

Now that I’ve laid out my plan for badge domination, I’ve realized that this post is also an indicator that I have entirely too much free time on my hands.

Wow, I’ve lapsed on updating my blog! Heck, I’ve graduated since I last posted!

This is going to be short and sweet, because most of my time nowadays has been dedicated to job searching. (Meaning: More emails and phone calls than I can count.) I’ve been setting up interviews all over Atlanta, and just scheduled my first interview in New York City. I’ll be heading north June 4th to catch up with the wonderful Lizzy Nephew and hopefully schedule a few more interviews.

And I’ll do what I can to update my blog more regularly. I am going to another AiMa event tomorrow. It’s on Mobile Marketing, so I will post another recap soon.
