About Me

I'm another one of the many students at UBC.

I'm currently in Würzburg on a co-op term with thepiguy. While here I'll be geohashing in the general area, though I may consider going much farther, since I'm planning on exploring Europe a bit while I'm here!

I discovered XKCD through slashdot, back on December 11, 2006. Specifically, this article is the one that led me to XKCD (Map of the Internet IPv4 space)!

I love photography, particularly when the subject is the natural world. Some of my favourite pictures that I've taken while geohashing can be seen here.

Upcoming Expeditions

  • No immediate plans, but that doesn't mean that I won't be geohashing!

Arrow2.png2009-05-09 Bamberg My first geohash in Germany! In the middle of a field.

Arrow2.png2009-09-13 Bamberg In a forest by Hundsfeld, which is by Rothof, which is near Rottendorf. Biked most of the way home in the rain.

Arrow2.png2009-09-14 Fulda Right on the edge of a field by Elfershausen-Trimberg! Three horses watched us. WARNING: Graphic pictures included of a dead deer found at the exact hashpoint (not joking).

Arrow2.png2009-09-20 Würzburg In a grassy area, just off the path, in Rottenbauer. A very easy geohash!

Arrow2.png2009-09-27 Paris Admitted to the area by a drunken French man who liked to talk!
