Geohashing Highlights

About

I was born and raised in the Aurora, Illinois graticule, where I discovered geohashing while browsing through the XKCD blog. After some periodic expeditions, I ended up moving down to Springfield, Illinois. I prefer not to burn gas to make it to geohash points and so try to bike instead. It also gives me a great opportunity to build towards my fitness goals when I bike to hash points. So far, some of the longest rides I've ever done were in pursuit of geohashes, and I see more and longer ones in my future. In fact, I even need my own bike stats page!

Other things about me:
Bowling
Robot Fighting
Photography

I was also the user responsible for updating the Most active users page, but this has been automated now (to some extent).
