Scooter rally in Phoenix

Who Is This Guy?

I used to live in the greater metropolitan area of "fabulous" Las Vegas, NV (36,-115). It was frustrating most of the hashpoints were on mountains or in Area 51!

I'm looking forward to hashing all over the country and the world, especially elusive ones on remote islands I have to go to. Don't be surprised if I randomly show up at your meetup!

Work

I do electrical design / programming / commissioning / r&d of high performance motion control systems for large scale entertainment (primarily in PASCAL & ladder logic). Yeah, kickin' it old school. Don't get me started on Profibus...those Germans!

Not Work

Camping + sailing + Vespas.

Geohashes

2009-06-22 36 -114 - in the sandy desert of Moapa Valley

2009-06-23 36 -115 - someone's living room in NW Las Vegas

2009-07-12 33 -96 - behind an Exxon in suburban Allen, TX

+I live near [[Harrisburg,_Pennsylvania|Harrisburg, PA (40,-76)]]<br>
-I live in the very northern part of the Wheaton Springs, CA ([[ 35%2C-115 ]]) graticule, although most everything I do is in "fabulous" Las Vegas, NV ([[ 36%2C-115 ]]) since the latitudinal line is only a few blocks north.  With all of this desert and restricted government land, I'll have my work cut out for me - there are barely 5 major roads in my graticule!
