==Who am I?==
<s>Greetings to my fellow geohashers, both near and far! I'm currently a UBC physics and computer science student living in [[Vancouver, British Columbia|Richmond]] and will bike/bus to the ends of the earth for that perfect hash point!</s>

<s>Guten Tag to my fellow geohashers, both far and near! I'm currently a co-op student at Universität [[Würzburg, Germany|Würzburg]] and will bike/take a train to the ends of the earth for that perfect hash point!</s>

Hello once again to my fellow geohashers! I'm back at the University of British Columbia, living in [[Vancouver, British Columbia|Richmond]], and won't be going anywhere for the foreseeable future. As per usual, I will do everything in my power to make it to that next beautiful hash point!

<s>I try and get to as many locations as possible, but school occasionally gets in the way. Me and my bike [[Media:2008-08-17 49 -123 bike.jpg|Josephine]] are willing to [[Bicycle Geohashes|cycle]] any distance if it means one more awesome expedition.</s>

<s>I try and get to as many locations as possible, but work occasionally gets in the way. Me and my new bike [[Media:2009-05-09 49 10 bike.jpg|Victoria]] are willing to [[Bicycle Geohashes|cycle]] any distance if it means one more awesome expedition.</s>

I try and get to as many locations as possible, but life occasionally gets in the way. My and my bikes [[Media:2008-08-17 49 -123 bike.jpg|Josephine]] and [[Media:2009-05-09 49 10 bike.jpg|Victoria]] are willing to [[Bicycle Geohashes|cycle]] any distance if it means one more awesome expedition.

One quick note about my user name, if one were to add in the spaces it would be The Pi Guy. As in that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi mystical mathematical constant], and having nothing to do with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig animal commonly known as bacon.] If we ever meet at a geohash, ask me how I got the name Pi; it's a good 30 seconds worth of entertainment (Now also available in <i>German!</i>).

==[[user:thepiguy/gallery|Picture Gallery]]==
I was flipping through my pictures, and thought it might be neat to create a few collections of pictures from multiple expeditions. The result (or lack thereof) can be [[user:thepiguy/gallery|found here!]]

==[[user:thepiguy/video|Video Gallery]]==
I recently compiled my expedition photos into one gigantic geohashing montage that can be found on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7zoZZh_mxc youtube]

==[[user:thepiguy/map|Map Gallery]]==
Time to make me some maps!
