I like [http://www.acbl.org bridge] (yes, some people under 60 play it!), [http://www.njbikemap.com cycling], [http://www.mlb.com baseball], and photography.  My wife is into scrapbooking, crafting, and likes photography as well.  My son likes story telling and ... trying to escape HEY GET BACK HERE! :-D.

I'll bring Fluxx, Wizard, or a regular deck of cards or the like.  My wife and I sometimes host [http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/CardBoardDay/ a monthly card-and-board gaming group], so if the site is close enough, I might suggest our house for the geohash on a weekend once we're done renovating.

Hi, my name is Greg, I'm a graduate of [[wikipedia:New Jersey Institute of Technology|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 [[User:Kyukket|Kyukket]] is also interested, and has rescued me from a vehicular breakdown during a geohash on one occasion.

I live in [[Newark, New Jersey|the North Jersey graticule]], and I'm aiming for a [[User:Jevanyn/Counties of New Jersey|Regional geohash for New Jersey]], the [[User:Jevanyn/New Jersey|Minesweeper achievement]], as well as meeting as many geohashers from [[Wilmington, North Carolina| Wilmington, NC]], [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]], or [[Seattle, Washington|anywhere]] [[Atlanta, Georgia|else]] that [[Berlin, Germany|geohashing]] has a [[Vancouver, British Columbia|following]].

I like [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/2276.html bridge], [http://www.njbikemap.com cycling], [http://www.mlb.com baseball], and photography.  My [[:Category:Jevanyn/brought Gwynnath|wife]] is into scrapbooking, crafting, and likes photography as well.  My [[:Category:Jevanyn/brought Evan|son]] likes knock-knock jokes and ... [[:Image:2009-11-27_39_-75_evan_escape1.jpg|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 [[:Category:Jevanyn/brought Grace|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''
 +
 
 +
*Future trips to [[Cape May]], [[Wilmington, North Carolina|Wilmington, NC]], and [[Myrtle Beach, South Carolina|Myrtle Beach]].
 +
**''Many of these trips have occurred, and will [[User:Jevanyn/Vacation_2023|continue to occur]].''
 +
 
 +
*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 [http://www.ingress.com Ingress], AKA [http://xkcd.com/1143/ Four Square with Space Noises<sup>tm</sup>], 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.''
 +
 
 +
*[[Two to the N achievement| 2<sup>7</sup> expeditions]].
 +
**''Syntax error: communication with the future halted '''++++++ATH0''' ''
 +
 
 +

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 2009-02-19 40 -74: The geohash was only a couple of towns over, but still unreachable.

Arrow4.png 2009-01-17 40 -74: A planned geohash, postponed from the 10th due to snow, was unreachable on the 17th.

Arrow6.png 2008-08-23 39 -74: Took a ride in my uncle's boat. Then I checked the geohash, which was just off the coast near where we had ridden by. Whoops.

The September 2nd Cape May geohash also lay on or near the boat route. For how little land is in this graticule, this may be as close as anyone gets for a while.

Arrow2.png 2008-07-26 40 -74: Meetup with Zubenelgenubi. XKCD conquers yet another suburb :-)

Arrow4.png 2008-07-12: I drove by the house where the geohash was on July 11 (I was going that way anyway).

I can only prove it by a) being able to describe the house (house number "Two Ten" in cursive fixtures on the house), and b) verifying that the Bound Brook Fire Dept. was having a fund raiser at a nearby intersection, proving I was there on Saturday.

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

I had to give back my Land geohash ribbon, since I didn't get close enough to the actual hashpoint.
Arrow1.png 2008-06-12: The location for Newark was only three miles from where I work, which at the time was the closest Cubicle Geohash to date.

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.
