About Me

Lol-asg.png 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

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
  • 2011-08-25 - On the way home 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
