User:Gyrus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm a web designer and developer, writer, publisher and industrious layabout. My given name is Steve Taylor, but most people know me as Gyrus (offline as well as on, so I consider it a "real" name).
I've recently joined Wikipedia, impressed by its progress so far, and I hope to learn more about open collaboration and collective intelligence through participating.
[edit] Location
I was born and raised in Boston, on England's (not the USA's) east coast. I've lived in Reading and Leeds, and currently reside in Walthamstow, London.
