54 / MHM / 40,-74

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.

• 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.

• 2008-06-12: The location for Newark was only three miles from where I work on US 206 in Hillsborough, so I've got the closest Cubicle Geohash to date. (Update 7/25/08: This was bested by Virgletati on 2008-06-20.
