I live in Somerville and work in Boston in the Boston, MA, USA graticule. You might occasionally find me visiting family in Charlottesville, VA (in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley graticule) or in Gainesville, Florida. (Bio updated 2019.)

  • GPS receiver status: Dead

Adventures

  • 2008-05-24 38 -78: Failure: First geohash, didn't see anyone. Unsure of precise location (no GPS).
  • 2008-06-08 38 -78: Success: The first 90% was a pleasant walk down a field, the second 90% was struggling through briers. Only person, I think.
  • 2008-08-30 38 -78: Success: Very close by, so I had to do it. By law or something. Not a difficult one. Met a turtle.
  • 2009-01-17 42 -71: Failure: First Boston graticule geohash, and first where I've met another hasher! Too close to a house.
  • 2009-05-08 42 -71: Success: In an alley I didn't think I'd be able to get into. (No GPS, used Google Maps.)
  • 2009-07-19 42 -71: Success: Drag-along hash, and met two unfamiliar hashers. (No GPS, used Google Maps.)
  • 2010-06-01 42 -71: Failure: Yardhash, chickened out a few meters away.
  • 2010-06-05 42 -71: Success: Surprise no-batteries hash, meetup with a puppet!
  • 2010-11-06 42 -71: Success: Deja Vu, 7-person meetup, couch potato honorable mention!
  • 2012-02-29 42 -71: Failure: Guarded by wet, cold rhododendron thicket.
  • 2012-03-03 42 -71: Success: Meetup, circus, snowman, and a ninja hasher
  • 2013-01-13 42 -71: Failure: ...which I knew ahead of time, but did anyway, even though it ruined my nice pattern of only every 3rd hash being a failure.
  • 2013-03-17 42 -71: Failure: Zoo! Kind of a sad zoo, actually. I got user:guinea-pig onto the meetup graph, though!
