[edit] Me

I guess most of my edits will be on PSI/paranormal stuff, so a little background aimed in that direction:

- not psychic
- not religious, but like Buddhist philosophy
- don’t believe in astrology
- love science when used as a method rather than a position
- am generally skeptical
- believe that +50% (downgraded/upgraded from 90% after 10 episodes of Skeptiko) of paranormal claims are delusion or fraud
- believe you gotta really dig to get close to the truth (anyone who believes anything Freud said needs to do some research)
- find dogmatism real annoying
- think fundamental religion is silly
- think atheism is silly
- married for 15 years
- have 4 kids
- founded a software and peripherals Co
- free-market-guy… ‘lack of money is the root of all evil’
- libertarian-leaning pragmatist

In January ’07 I started the Skeptiko Podcast (http://www.skeptiko.com/), because I really wanted to dig into the science that explores the paranormal. After just a few episodes I can tell it’s going to be a very interesting journey.

Looking forward to an open, honest, well-informed dialog with skeptics. AD 13:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
