About Me

52 / m / 42,-88

I am a Mac geek (former Apple employee (twice)) and current Apple Certified Trainer/Consultant/Technician living near Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

My house is less than two miles South/Southwest from the 43, -88 graticule, but I'm originally from Naperville, IL so the 42, -88 suits me just fine.

Geohashes Visited

• My first was the 42, -88 event on 2011-08-05
• On 2011-08-22 I visited five hashes on my trip from Milwaukee to Minneapolis for work.

43 -88 - A senior living apartment near home

42 -89 - The parking lot of a Piggly Wiggly near Madison

44 -90 - A near-miss of the hash on private property in scary "ya got a purty mouth" territory

45 -92 - A near-miss of the hash on private property in breathtakingly beautiful farm land

45 -93 - Mere feet from the hash at the edge of someone's house

Or you can read it all on one page

• On the way home on 2011-08-25 I tried two more graticules at dusk/dark.

44 -92 - A corn field at dusk with the edge of a sunset and a sky full of stars

43 -90 - Couldn't find a safe route and settled for parking on the freeway nearby
