Biographical

Hi, my name is Greg, I'm a graduate of New Jersey Institute of Technology, with a BS in computer science. I have a wife, a son, and a daughter, one or more of whom will likely be joining me when I go geohashing. Our former housemate Kyukket is also interested, and has rescued me from a vehicular breakdown during a geohash on one occasion.

I live in the North Jersey graticule, and I'm aiming for a Regional geohash for New Jersey, the Minesweeper achievement, as well as meeting as many geohashers from Wilmington, NC, Boston, or anywhere else that geohashing has a following.

I like bridge, cycling, baseball, and photography. My wife is into scrapbooking, crafting, and likes photography as well. My son likes knock-knock jokes and ... trying to escape HEY GET BACK HERE! :-D. He's in Cub Scouts now, so there may be other kinds of merit badges available to him. I've also brought my daughter to a geohash or two, but she's a bit young to appreciate it.

I can bring Fluxx, Wizard, Magic: the Gathering, a regular deck of cards or the like to any meetups.

Future plans

    • I am from the future, and I have plans for your plans
  • Send notifications via Twitter (@jevanyn #geohashNJ) of relatively reachable geohashes, with occasional shoutouts to local schools.
    • Twitter is irrelevant
  • The Algorithm wants me to go to Pennsylvania.
    • There are also future plans for Pennsylvania, which still exists.
  • Bucket list: a geohajj up to Boston, with a couple of stops along the way, hopefully I'll get to meet locals there as well!
    • Boston continues to exist, as does this goal.
  • ...and I'm playing Ingress, AKA Four Square with Space Noisestm, so I'll be combining those two activities as much as possible.
    • Ingress has evolved into Pokemon Go after feeding it 100 Frog Tears.
  • Once I make it to 100 expeditions, I'll compile them into a Google Earth KMZ file.
    • The goal of 100 geohash expeditions has been reached, but Google Earth is irrelevant.
  • 27 expeditions.
    • Syntax error: communication with the future halted ++++++ATH0

Expeditions

Total Expeditions: (at least) 107.
Geohashes reached: 78 in 10 graticules.

66 in Newark, NJ
2 each in Philadelphia, PA, Allentown, PA, and Newtown, NY
1 each in Wilmington, NC, Baltimore, MD, Atlantic City, NJ, Danbury, CT, New York, NY, Scranton, PA

I will need to backtrack through old expedition pages that I created, and determine whether I have photos.

Arrow4.png 2008-06-28 40 -74: Geohash in Westfield. Brought my wife and son, took pictures, wrote narrative.

Achievements I'm shooting for

Not realistic unless I try to rent or hijack a boat near Mantoloking to get (39,-73).
But a hurricane is a cyclonic storm, doesn't that count for the other kind of twister?
See the above for Retro/Water Geohash
A Saturday meetup in Boston or Seattle. Seattle would be an XKCD-1000.
A geohash in Australia or New Zealand, which would be an XKCD-10000 8-D.

Silly ideas for achievements

Disclaimer: some of these are obviously illegal, I take no responsibility for your actions.

  • Close but No Cigar / Close Enough for Government Work consolation: You get within about 100m and decide you're "close enough" (I see a lot of these on weekday meetup pages.)
  • No "There" There consolation: Your GPS can't decide if you've found the hashpoint or not
  • Midnight Madness Multihash: special multihash for going to a geohash for Friday (or Saturday), then at midnight travelling to the Saturday/Sunday geohash as quickly as possible.
  • Hash-and-grab: commit an act of burglary
  • Green eggs and hash: prepare a meal, preferably from something caught on-site
  • H*A*S*H: perform a medical procedure at a meetup, for example, first aid on a fellow geohasher
  • Hash-and-slash: LARPing at a geohash
  • Geohashish: getting stoned at a geohash (If combined with a Hash Collision, it is known as a GeoStash. --Arlo)
  • Hash Browns: Go dressed as a Cleveland Brown
  • 100 Yard/Meter Hash: stage a footrace at the geohash
  • Pokemon Geohash: capture a small animal near the geohash, and train it to attack CCG players.
  • Mad Money geohash: placing a stock trade, especially for a Dow Component company, while at a geohash. (Before 4PM EST, when the stock exchange usually closes)
    • Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Money geohash: ... then calculating the new geohash point, going there, and doing it again.
  • Geokegging: start a party at the geohash.
