Wiki-lurker extraordinaire...

About me

I'm an [artist], but to make ends meet I'm a ~~shipper at a local steel distributor~~ surface land administrator, which ironically gives me access to many MANY handy maps :).

I have always been interested in geography. I love the idea of random adventure and exploring new places, but am quite limited when it comes to being able to geohash. Read: no gps, no car, living in a graticule where most hashpoints end up in some farmers' field.

40 / f / 53,-113

Up and coming...

~~Spring~~ ~~Summer~~ The 21st century is here!

I recently passed through 34 graticules on a road-trip. The algorithm was cruel and gave me nothing.

I have had a bicycle graciously donated to me by Robyn. His name is Chuck, somewhat after what Robyn wanted to do to his predecessor (ICWB), and somewhat after the sound the front derailler makes if you attempt to use it.

I had been working on a little project tracking how often points in my home graticule land in farmer's fields. I will publish the results when I get the time.

Geohashes

Wiki stuff

Waiting for a good hash has left me time to map out the graticules in some regions.
