Iconic self-portrait.

Fun guy with an infected upper left molar.

I am a Boisean with eclectic interests, a state employee, a long-time co-administrator of INFJ-L (the oldest and second-largest mailing list for that Myers-Briggs personality type on the Internet), and an early lifetime LibraryCrack, err, LibraryThing member (I recently culled my library to just over 1000 books –but the numbers are rising again, of course). I'm also a stalwart fan of roller derby and a volunteer for the Obama campaign in Idaho. Just another geek!

Ontologically I'm also notable just for being here, inasmuch as I was a preemie with a gestation period of 6 months, two weeks and a birthweight of 2 lbs. 9 oz. (1162 grams) nearly half a century ago. I support the March of Dimes on general principles.

As per Archilochus, I am far more fox than hedgehog. While my sundry changes to Wikipedia are almost entirely stylistic, grammatical or arcane, I do have a few initiated articles to my name: National Interagency Fire Center, Nichi nichi kore ko nichi, and Comprehensive metabolic panel (eventually a DYK).

My day job claim to fame back in the day is that I was the catalog editor at Blue Dove Press in San Diego for a couple of years (“Saints and Sages of the East and West”), so I would very much concur with Borges that Paradise shall be a kind of library. I have other ideas about Heaven too, but that said I've done a fair amount of editing and ghostwriting in my time. (I've been told that I'm an “interesting mix of the sacred and profane,” but personally I consider “vulgar and arcane” more accurate.)

I am happily running SUSE Linux 10.0 and Ubuntu Linux 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon), and fancy that if I were a programmer I'd program in Perl, if only because it looks like a cartoon character swearing.

My time offset (during Mountain Standard Time) is UTC-7.

Cheers!
