For those of you who didn't know, I've been playing Ingress for a few weeks now. Ingress is an augmented reality massively multiplayer online game for Android smartphones. Today I reached level 4!
I have chosen to side with the Enlightened faction (green) in the game and have been a bit demoralised in the past month to see the Resistance faction gain more and  more of a Mind Unit advantage over the Enlightened. Today I was doing my bit to bolster the Enlightened presence in Edinburgh, Scotland and managed to take a few portals.

Deep in Resistance territory...

To celebrate and to warm up, I'm now sitting in the Waterstones Cafe on Princes Street sipping a white hot chocolate and writing this post. While I type I'm getting GMail notifications on my Chromebook to let me know that my entities are being taken down by GelatinousBlob, I'll need to head out back into the field soon.
If you are in Edinburgh and part of the Enlightened faction feel free to message me in the faction chat and we can see if we can strategize a tactic for turning Edinburgh green.
