== Biographical ==
 
 
 
Hi, my name is Greg, I'm a graduate of [[wikipedia:New Jersey Institute of Technology|New Jersey Institute of Technology]], with a BS in computer science.  I have a wife, 6-yr-old son, and newborn daughter, one or more of whom will likely be joining me when I go geohashing.  Our former housemate "Kyukket" is also interested, and has rescued me from a vehicular breakdown during a geohash on one occasion.
 
 
 
I live in [[Newark, New Jersey|the North Jersey graticule]], and I'm aiming for a [[User:Jevanyn/Counties of New Jersey|Regional geohash for New Jersey]], the [[User:Jevanyn/New Jersey|Minesweeper achievement]], as well as meeting as many geohashers from [[Wilmington, North Carolina| Wilmington, NC]], [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]], or [[Seattle, Washington|anywhere]] [[Atlanta, Georgia|else]] that [[Berlin, Germany|geohashing]] has a [[Vancouver, British Columbia|following]].
 
 
 
I like [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/2276.html bridge], [http://www.njbikemap.com cycling], [http://www.mlb.com baseball], and photography.  My [[:Category:Jevanyn/brought Gwynnath|wife]] is into scrapbooking, crafting, and likes photography as well.  My [[:Category:Jevanyn/brought Evan|son]] likes knock-knock jokes and ... [[:Image:2009-11-27_39_-75_evan_escape1.jpg|trying to escape HEY GET BACK HERE!]] :-D. He's in Cub Scouts now, so there may be other kinds of merit badges available to him. I've also brought my [[:Category:Jevanyn/brought Grace|daughter]] to a geohash or two, but she's a bit young to appreciate it.
 
 
 
I can bring Fluxx, Wizard, Magic: the Gathering, a regular deck of cards or the like to any meetups.
 
 
 
== Future plans ==
 
*March - April: spending a week in Wilmington NC. Heading down March 30th-31st overnight, probably returning April 7th and/or 8th. Geohashes in eastern NC are up for grabs. Home will be patrolled by Chuck Norris and a dozen flaming sack-bots while I'm away, so no burglars, please.
 
*May or June: going to FLA for a week for work, don't know which week or which graticule(s) yet.
 
 
 
== Expeditions ==
 
Total Expeditions: '''[[User:Jevanyn/Expeditions|70]]'''.<br>
 
Geohashes reached: '''49''' in 46 expeditions.<br>
 
Current Streak: 8 successes (NOT counting retros).<br>

== Achievements I'm shooting for ==
 
*[[User:Jevanyn/New_Jersey|Regional Geohash, graticules in NJ]] . . . all graticules attempted, 7 reached.
 
*[[User:Jevanyn/Counties of New Jersey|Regional Geohash, counties in NJ]]:  . . . 13 of 21 counties reached.
 
*[[Minesweeper Geohash|Minesweeper achievement]] . . . 6 of 8 centered on [[Newark, New Jersey|Newark]].
 
::Not realistic unless I try to rent or hijack a boat near Mantoloking to get ([[39,-73]]).
 
*[[Pub Geohash]]
 
*[[Twister Geohash]] . . . Attempted Sept 5-7, but [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Hanna_(2008) Hanna] didn't want to play.
 
::But a hurricane is a cyclonic storm, doesn't that count for the other kind of twister?
 
*[[Water Geohash]] . . . [[2008-08-16 39 -74]]: Almost!
 
::See the above for Retro/Water Geohash
 
*[[Wedding Anniversary Geohash]] . . . The location is less than 5 miles from my cousin's house in Dayton, so we may be able to drag-along a number of wedding guests.  [[Formal Attire Geohash]] is also possible.
 
*[[XKCD-100]]
 
::A Saturday meetup in [[Boston]] or [[Seattle]].  Seattle would be an XKCD-1000.
 
::A geohash in [[:Category:Australia|Australia]] or [[:Category:New Zealand|New Zealand]], which would be an XKCD-10000 8-D.
 
 
 
== Silly ideas for achievements ==
 
''Disclaimer: some of these are obviously illegal, I take no responsibility for your actions.''
 
* '''Close but No Cigar''' / '''Close Enough for Government Work''' consolation: You get within about 100m and decide you're "close enough" (I see a lot of these on weekday meetup pages.)
 
* '''No "There" There''' consolation: Your GPS can't decide if you've found the hashpoint or not
 
* '''Midnight Madness Multihash''': special multihash for going to a geohash for Friday (or Saturday), then at midnight travelling to the Saturday/Sunday geohash as quickly as possible.
 
* '''Hash-and-grab''': commit an act of burglary
 
* '''Green eggs and hash''': prepare a meal, preferably from something caught on-site
 
* '''H*A*S*H''': perform a medical procedure at a meetup, for example, first aid on a fellow geohasher
 
* '''Hash-and-slash''': LARPing at a geohash
 
* '''Geohashish''': getting stoned at a geohash
 
* '''Hash Browns''': Go dressed as a Cleveland Brown
 
* '''100 Yard/Meter Hash''': stage a footrace at the geohash
 
* '''Pokemon Geohash''': capture a small animal near the geohash, and train it to attack CCG players.
 
* '''Mad Money geohash''': placing a stock trade, especially for a Dow Component company, while at a geohash.  (Before 4PM EST, when the stock exchange usually closes)
 
** '''Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Money geohash''': ... then calculating the new geohash point, going there, and doing it again.
 
* '''Geokegging''': start a party at the geohash.

[[:Category:Jevanyn/Needs pictures]]: I need to upload photos from a few past geohashes.
 
 
 
[[User:Jevanyn/Geohashing Fluxx|Geohashing Fluxx]]: The "Goals" are based on geohash types, e.g., Air Geohash, while "Keepers" are things you might bring with you, e.g., Duct Tape.  ''work in progress''

Live in the southeast corner of my graticule, so may attend meetups in others.
