About me

Greetings to my fellow geohashers, both near and far! I'm currently a UBC physics and computer science student living in Richmond and will bike/bus to the ends of the earth for that perfect hash point!

I don't get to nearly as many locations as I'd like to, but I'm going to try and get out more! i just bought a brand new Devinci hybrid bike (I'll have pictures as soon as I get to my next geohash!) and I can't wait to try it out on a nice geohashing day trip.

I may also be heading to Germany for a co-op job in may of 2009, which should make for some exciting trans-continental geohashing!

One quick note about my user name, if one were to add in the spaces it would be The Pi Guy. As in that mystical mathematical constant, and having nothing to do with the animal commonly known as bacon.
