Bio

I am a 41 year old social worker living in the Portland, Oregon graticule. Although new to geohashing, I am a long-time arbitrary traveller with an collection of U.S. Counties.

I blog a little about my exploits in arbitrary travel, but also a lot about my exploits in arbitrary book-reading, arbitrary movie-watching, the arbitrary reading of Rennaissance drama and The Bible, and the arbitrary practice of cutting cloth apart and then sewing it back together, at the following sites:

*The Life & Times of Michael5000

Whatever's going through my head.

*State of the Craft

Quilting. Yes, quilting. It's a long story.

*Michael Reads the Bible

In which I read a very strange, famous, and interesting book.

*Rennaissance Man

The Shakespeare Blog, in which I read a lot of very, very old plays.

Cinnamon Bear, my hashcot, is a 34 year old teddy bear. He is new to geohashing but has many years of experience as a travel mascot. He has travelled in 44 U.S. states as well as England and Wales, and has been to Hadrian's Wall, the White House, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and other well-known sites. He has been to the top of the highest mountain in New Jersey (with me) and to the tops of Oregon's Mt. Hood and Washington's Mt. Saint Helens (without me).

Other Hijinx

2009-11-03 -- Laboriously created Oregon page, and links to it on individual graticule pages, out of a sudden compulsion to know which graticules are still available for the Virgin Graticule Achievement.
