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
- Future trips to Cape May, Wilmington, NC, and Myrtle Beach.
- Many of these trips have occurred, and will 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 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.

Achievements I'm shooting for
- Regional Geohash, graticules in NJ . . . all graticules attempted, 8 reached.
- Regional Geohash, counties in NJ: . . . 13 of 21 counties reached.
- Minesweeper achievement . . . 7 of 8 centered on Newark.
- Not realistic unless I try to rent or hijack a boat near Mantoloking to get (39,-73).
- Pub Geohash
- Twister Geohash . . . Attempted Sept 5-7, but Hanna didn't want to play.
- But a hurricane is a cyclonic storm, doesn't that count for the other kind of twister?
- Water Geohash . . . 2008-08-16 39 -74: Almost!
- See the above for Retro/Water Geohash
- Wedding Anniversary Geohash . . . The location is less than 5 miles from my cousin's house in Dayton, so we may be able to drag-along a number of wedding guests. Formal Attire Geohash is also possible.
- XKCD-100 . . . 2009-10-12 41 -73: Done
- 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.
