I found out about geohashing from the XKCD blog talking about the Antarctica global hash. I've actually done a couple of Geocaches in the past, and I found out about those through my high school Latin IV teacher, who made it our final project to hide a series of Geocaches that somehow lead you through something Classics-related. But even though I've known about those since 2007, I never heard of geohashing until November 2012.

My Graticules

  • I was born in 1990 in Moscow, in the Moscow graticule in Russia, and grew up right next door in Obninsk, but sadly, I doubt I will ever be doing any hashing there, so unless Russia's relationship with expatriates changes, I might never get the Origin geohash achievement.
  • When I moved to America in 1999, I lived mostly in Santa Clara County, near San Francisco, which is apparently mostly water - sad to hear.
  • I went to college at UC Davis, near Sac which is where I found out about geohashing!
  • Lived in Chicago for the first half of 2013
  • Now living in my dream town, Portland, hopefully forever!

Fellow Geohashers

Notes

These would be the approximate (W30) coordinates for a couch potato globalhash for me:

(x * 180) -  90 =  +45 | x * 180 = 135 | x = .75
(y * 360) - 180 = -122 | y * 360 =  58 | y = .161

If the W30 coordinates are close to these numbers, I should check the globalhash.
