One quick note about my user name, if one were to add in the spaces it would be The Pi Guy. As in that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi mystical mathematical constant], and having nothing to do with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig animal commonly known as bacon.] If we ever meet at a geohash, ask me how I got the name Pi; it's a good 30 seconds worth of entertainment (Now also available in <i>German!</i>).

Who am I?

Greetings to my fellow geohashers, both near and far! I'm currently a UBC physics and computer science student living in Richmond and will bike/bus to the ends of the earth for that perfect hash point!

Guten Tag to my fellow geohashers, both far and near! I'm currently a co-op student at Universität Würzburg and will bike/take a train to the ends of the earth for that perfect hash point!

Hello once again to my fellow geohashers! I'm back at the University of British Columbia, living in Richmond, and won't be going anywhere for the foreseeable future. As per usual, I will do everything in my power to make it to that next beautiful hash point!

I try and get to as many locations as possible, but school occasionally gets in the way. Me and my bike Josephine are willing to cycle any distance if it means one more awesome expedition.

I try and get to as many locations as possible, but work occasionally gets in the way. Me and my new bike Victoria are willing to cycle any distance if it means one more awesome expedition.

I try and get to as many locations as possible, but life occasionally gets in the way. My and my bikes Josephine and Victoria are willing to cycle any distance if it means one more awesome expedition.

One quick note about my user name, if one were to add in the spaces it would be The Pi Guy. As in that mystical mathematical constant, and having nothing to do with the animal commonly known as bacon. If we ever meet at a geohash, ask me how I got the name Pi; it's a good 30 seconds worth of entertainment (Now also available in German!).

Other Geohashers Met

In order of first encounter:

  • srs0. A fellow UBC student, we're in the same program, take all the same classes, and worked at the same co-op job. We spend... far to much time together. He's working at the computer next to me even as I type this.
  • Warren at the 2008-05-31 geohash in Surrey. He came all the way from Bellingham!
  • Robyn at the 2008-09-19 geohash in Surrey dressed up like a pirate. It was about time!
  • Wade also at the 2008-09-19 geohash (and also dressed up like a pirate!)
  • MylSh is a UBC student that me and srs0 introduced to geohashing. We're also in most of the same classes.
  • Arbron at the 2009-03-09 geohash in Vancouver. Got a good chance to know him over dinner and a bus ride back to UBC.
  • Elbie and I also know each other from UBC.
  • Danatar at the 2009-05-09 geohash in... that German town... First international meetup!
  • Ekorren in the München train station on the way to the 2009-06-07 47 10 goehash. Also followed him to several geocaches throughout the day!
  • Zb in the München train station on the way to the 2009-06-07 47 10 goehash. He spent most of the train ride(s) teaching us about Germany!
  • Baerenfell in the München train station on the way to the 2009-06-07 47 10 goehash. We also shared a paddle boat on the way to the hash.
  • Relet not at the pre-designated coordinates outside the hauptbahnhof on the way to the 2009-08-29 52 13 geohash.
  • Lyx outside the hauptbahnhof on the way to the 2009-08-29 52 13 geohash. Although we didn't introduce ourselves until the train, sorry!

Geohashing Check Lists

Items in bold are things I have forgotten at one point or another.

The very basics

The geohashing basics

For any bicycle geohashes

  • Bike (!)
  • Helmet
  • Gloves
  • Sun glasses (more for bugs than for sun)
  • Bike lock (with keys)
  • Bike repair kit
  • Bike lights and reflectors (never know how long a geohash might take)
  • Lots of water
  • Extra snacks/lunch
  • Spare tube (Because you can't patch a broken valve!)

Water geohashes (I can't believe I even have this list)

  • Change of clothes
  • Waterproof GPS bag
  • Pelican cases for camera and other valuables
  • Seafaring vessel (be it raft or reservation)

Picture Gallery

I was flipping through my pictures, and thought it might be neat to create a few collections of pictures from multiple expeditions. The result (or lack thereof) can be found here!

Video Gallery

I recently compiled my expedition photos into one gigantic geohashing montage that can be found on youtube

Map Gallery

Time to make me some maps!
