Who?

Richard Soderberg, of floating atoll.

Why?

When I was growing up my great-grandparents had a map of the world with hundreds of pins on it, one for each location. I've continued that tradition with digital photography and geotagging.

How?

I have a GlobalSat BT-335 and a Palm Centro linked together to show me my coordinates. If there's cellular data service, I can pull up Google Maps.

What?

I set up a Twitter account, @globalhash, so that I can see if the globalhash is anywhere near me. It posts once a day with lat/long metadata attached.

I wrote a proposal suggesting that the globalhash be added to the day templates, with a live example using newly-created wiki templates.

Where?

2009-11-27 37 -122 Lime Ridge Open Space, sans coyotes.

2009-09-25 33 -116 Failure at the avocado farm.

Results?

Richard Soderberg earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (37, -122) geohash on 2009-11-27.

Richard Soderberg earned the Drag-along achievement

by dragging ericabiz to the (37, -122) geohash on 2009-11-27.

Richard Soderberg earned the No trespassing consolation prize

by almost reaching the (33, -116) geohash on 2009-09-25.
