I am Jonathan Kovaciny. I live in Mankato, Minnesota, and work at Bethany Lutheran College as a webmaster. I also operate a wiki about Mankato, as well as a site about the Ukrainian Bible translation, and others. When not working at my day job or side projects, I like to spend as much time as possible with my wife and three awesome kids!
I'm interested in, among other things:
- Energy conservation
- Open-source software
- Fairtax (and fixing the arcane modus operandi of the IRS.)
- WikiProject Minnesota
- Hiking and generally enjoying the Great Outdoors.
I hate:
