Me

I'm the long-suffering geohash-widower of Robyn.

My home graticule is Vancouver, British Columbia (see today's point on the peeron map). Meetups in this graticule: meetups.

My notifications.

Achievements

My goal is to maintain a ratio of ribbons:attempts greater than 1. I have reached that goal. I may now safely quit geohashing.
