About Me

I'm from Heidelberg, Germany and will visit hashpoints reachable by bike or foot and sometimes those reachable by train.

Future Plans

Current status/plans: In London. Leaving today, without an expedition in England. :(

Achievements to Get

It's always nice to win an achievement along with a successful expedition. For me, some are more desirable than others.

Things to Do at Hashpoints

  • Combine geohashing with guerilla gardening.
  • Revisit old hashpoints and document how the place changed (the above point makes revisiting particularly interesting).
  • Clean up the hashpoint area.
  • Fly a kite at the hash.
  • Leave a hashmark.
  • Leave a hashmark big and durable enough that it can be seen from space. Then wait for the next Google Earth imagery update.

Videos of my expeditions (5 so far).

Wiki Stuff

I like drawing xkcd-ish images for achievement ribbons. See my gallery of achievement images. I keep looking out for newly created achievements that need a ribbon image, and for old images that could be improved.

To-Do List

Stencils

I recently discovered the art of stencils for easily reproducible hashmarks on wood and other biodegradable material to leave at the hashpoint. I left the first of these markers at the 2010-03-13 49 8 hashpoint. Others are at the ready:
