From the small town of Boring, Oregon. Yes that's actually the name of the town. I've found it's a great ice-breaker as well.
Currently new to hashing but excited, I've geocached and this scratches that same itch to explore and adventure.
I'm studying computer science at Oregon State University.
My top three current geohashing goals:
- Hash on another continent
- Start a geohashing club at Oregon State University
- Get the Hobbit achievement preferably in a graticule on an active volcano
