Tim McCormack, here.
I go to Northeastern University in 42,-71. When I'm not in school, you might find me back in my hometown of Charlottesville VA in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley graticule.
- GPS receiver status: Working, if I smack it sharply before pressing the Power On button.

Tools
- I maintain geohash.info, which at this time only hosts a daily hash RSS feed. Willing to host more services at this domain.
- I wrote an offline calculator for use without internet access. (Get the DOW opening by txting a Yahoo's finance service? *shrug*)
- Also, I'm responsible for the A/S/G thing. I think I'm proud of that. Maybe not.
