You woke up this morning, got yourself a gun, Mama always said you'd be the chosen one...

Hi, my name is Greg, I'm a graduate of New Jersey Institute of Technology, with a BS in computer science. I have a wife and 3-yr-old son, both of whom will likely be joining me when I go geohashing.

I live in the North Jersey graticule, but I visit Cape May frequently.

I like bridge (yes, some people under 60 play it!), cycling, baseball, and photography. My wife is into scrapbooking, crafting, and likes photography as well. My son likes story telling and ... trying to escape HEY GET BACK HERE! :-D.

I'll bring Fluxx, Wizard, or a regular deck of cards or the like. My wife and I sometimes host a monthly card-and-board gaming group, so if the site is close enough, I might suggest our house for the geohash on a weekend once we're done renovating.

Latest News

I'll be on vacation the week of 18 August, which will give me a chance to geohash in the Cape May, Atlantic City, and New York graticules, if the hashpoints are close enough to my travels.

I'll still post the weekend geohashes to the FaceBook group for Newark, I just won't be able to go to them :-)

This user earned the Land geohash achievement
by reaching the (40, -74) geohash on 2008-07-26.
  • 2008-07-12: I drove by the geohash for July 11 (I was going that way anyway). I can only prove it by a) being able to describe the house (house number "Two Ten" in cursive fixtures on the house), and b) verifying that the Bound Brook Fire Dept. was having a fund raiser at a nearby intersection, proving I was there on Saturday.
  • 2008-06-28 40 -74: Geohash in Westfield. Brought my wife and son, took pictures, wrote narrative.

I had to give back my Land geohash ribbon, since I didn't get close enough to the actual hashpoint.

Ribbons I'm shooting for
