[edit] Dylan Knight Rogers

I am a 16 year old bipedal humanoid entity whose mind resides on the lakefronts of Chicago. I enjoy reading, writing, art, technology, politics, philosophy, chess and the study of the mind. In short, I attempt to exhibit the qualities of an Uomo Universale. I am an ardent supporter of Free Software - software that can be used, studied, copied, modified and distributed - without restriction.

Given my stance on the theory of evolution, it is ironic that I share the birthdate of Clarence Darrow.

I was born on the 35th anniversary of Albert Einstein's death.

I write for my weblog, Entropy, on a regular basis. I also take photographs, read 1-2 books per week, listen to music, watch film, and attempt to absorb culture.

I'm a secular humanist and a full-time thinker, living on the lakefronts of Chicago.

In the near future, I plan to acquire a PhD in computer science and become a professor.

I use Emacs for most of my computing needs. Why use anything else? On my computers, I also stay away from the X interface.

[edit] Goal in Wikipedia

My goal in Wikipedia is to make the articles as accessible and factually authentic as possible.

  • My weblog, entitled Entropy. I update this once per week on average. For those who are interested, I use WordPress, excellent web-based content management software.
  • Ututo, a GNU/Linux distribution I am helping to maintain. I am the official translator of their English-version web presence, and am working on system stability and the English internationalization process. I performed a complete re-write of the Ututo Wikipedia entry.
  • Blag, another GNU/Linux distribution I work with. Both Ututo and Blag are recognized by the GNU project for their stance on software freedom.
  • GNU Project. The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop a complete Unix-like operating system which is free software: the GNU system. Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the kernel called Linux, are now widely used; though these systems are often referred to as “Linux”, they are more accurately called GNU/Linux systems.
