Hi, I'm zb.
I live in Munich. I like riding my bike. If I have enough time, up to about 100 km are a nice distance during one day. I am sometimes short on spare time, though, because I have a job and too many hobbies. Most of my friends say I am fun to be with, but I am also a total nerd. I design analog electronic circuits -- power and signal chain. I go to concerts a lot and play music. I am a radio dj. I spend a lot of time looking at the sky. It is surprising I had no bad accident yet while riding my bike and checking out clouds or airplanes at the same time. I like trains and I am an aviation dork. I also like nature -- you know... trees, creeks, animals and stuff. One of the coolest things about Munich is the perfect quality of the tap water.
This text by Jim Williams explains in a really good way why you see strange things in the background of my profile picture. Yes, this is (almost) my living room.
If I find out about a nice location in my area, I will try to write some lines about it in advance, on this page: Munich
Upcoming Geohashes I'm Trying to Visit
- ... will be mentioned here as soon as i find out about them.
Past Geohashes I Have Visited
Newest first.
- 2009-06-08 48 10 Just a quick detour after work for this almost honorable mention of the Cubicle geohash achievement. My cubicle/lab is just over 2 km SE of the location. Augsburg deserves more attention from geohashers anyway.
- 2009-06-07 47 10, in the middle of the Eibsee lake, just below the Zugspitze. My first geohash in another graticule than my home graticule of München. There were 9 (in words: nine) of us. Met Danatar, Srs0, Thepiguy, dawidi, Hans, Tomcat, Ekorren and Baerenfell.
- 2009-04-24 48 11 - Very similar to 2009-04-03 48 11, which I enjoyed a lot. Reached the coordinates around 7:00p
- 2009-04-07 48 11 - Fail. Lazy Drive-By-Geohash in Gröbo. Fail is what you get for Lazy.
- 2009-04-03 48 11 - Egg, South of Mammendorf. Hike in beautiful weather and awesome evening light. Success.
- 2009-03-28 48 11 - Hasenbergl! Late Afternoon. Failed Saturday meetup, but nice bike ride in the rain, anyway.
- 2008-05-30 Munich, Germany - Attempted but missed by about 100 m. Got seriously drenched on my bike in rain and when walking through a thick forest with very wet leaves while trying to find the spot. (Isarauen close to Hallbergmoos).
- 2008-05-29 Munich, Germany - Successfully reached by bike (Zengermoos close to 380 kV power line).
- 2008-05-27 Munich, Germany - Successfully reached by bike (Backyard in Au).
