Details on the mechanics of geohashing and its community, and what goes on in our region.

- Good question, I'll get around to reading their TOS tomorrow. I'll try and have the video up this week. Sorry for the delay, folks. - Elbie 04:43, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
- The sound quality on the uncompressed version is barely good enough to understand, and the compressed versions I've tried are all unintelligible so far. :( - Elbie 18:32, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
