=Questions=
 
 
 
Q: Why did you started geohashing?
 
 
 
A: I've been a XKCD fan since my sister introduced me to the strips and when I by chance(I was googling for a XKCD strip) found this wiki I realized that geohashing was something real. It seemed like fun and I tried it and now I'm stuck.
 
 
 
 
 
Q:Why are your pictures often blurry?
 
 
 
A:I'm using a small camera that fits in my jacked pocket and I usually operate it with only one hand while I'm still walking. The reason for this is either cause I'm in a hurry or that it's freezing cold outside(can't operate the camera with gloves). Sometimes it's both.
