The Knitting Duck
- a/s/g: 24/f/40,-74
- Day Job: A grad student at SIT studying systems engineering under a SMART scholarship.
- Favorite Portmanteaux: frankenword, squiggle, and knork
- Why I'm Here: I really, seriously need a new hobby and geohashing looks like delightful lunacy. :-)
Yep, that's a rubber duck sitting in a nest made from a rolled-up, homemade Fourth Doctor scarf.
Expeditions
- 2009-06-26 40 -74 (Newark, New Jersey): I don't own a GPS unit (... yet), so this is going to be strictly according to what Google tells me. It looks like it's inside the building, but I'm not sure what the building is. Google refuses to disgorge any further information on the address. I have no idea if it's private property or not! I'm dragging along my housemate, who agreed to play navigator on this expedition. We hope to be at (or at least near) the hash at about 4pm. RESULT: Coordinates not reached due to copious No Trespassing signs. It turned out to be the NJ Foundation for the Blind in Denville, NJ. I am not discouraged, and am already planning to try again soon!
