[edit] Relevant Bio

I have formal education and training in:

• physics, especially medical physics and radiotherapy
• advanced mathematics, programming and computer science

additionally, I have read extensively on:

• oil depletion and the Hubbert peak theory
• alternate energy and other sustainable technologies
• climate change and global warming

as well as having many other interests, including:

• human psychology and counselling
• food, gardening and cooking
• game design and game theory
• linguistics and english etymology
• evolution
• philosophy

and would be happy to provide expert (or at least informed) comment on any of the above :-)

[edit] Rules to wiki by

Some rules I (try to) follow:

• Make every edit count.
• Make my points once and once only.
• Respond in heated discussions no more than once a day.
• Allow other users to work on whatever area of the project they choose.

[edit] WikiBreaks

I frequently take extended WikiBreaks with no prior warning, as my WikiIntrest ebbs and flows. If you'd like to contact me about something and I haven't edited in a while, feel free to use the email in my user infobox at right (add ".com" at the end!).

[edit] Current Projects

[edit] Sustainable Technologies Project

I spend most my wikitime working on my sustainable technologies project. It's in my user space for now, but if you're interested feel free to check it out.

[edit] Medical Physics

I'm also hoping to do some work on medical physics articles (I'm am doing a PhD in the field, after all).

[edit] To Do List

• Do some work on pages needing physics/math expert attenion; many seem to be missing a "layman's intro".
• Confidence interval reportedly needs to be more lay-friendly.
• Ecocites needs massive clean-up; also might fit in SusTech.
• Add more stuff to my to do list.

[edit] Favorite Contributions

• Stopping Power—First page I spent much time working on; did a major copyedit.
• Talk:Hubbert peak theory—Archived the talk page here to refocus the bloated discussion.
• General Stubs–A short list of general stub templates; for stub sorting better than {{stub}} without having to dig through the whole stub list.
• Sunlight—Expanded this to included the energy focus from The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight.
• Image:Dual Cube-Octahedron.jpg
• Image:Solenoid.png
• Recycling—In Progress—Moving this slowly towards good article status.
• The nifty user infobox above!
