From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've been reading Wikipedia for quite some time now, as well as providing minor edits on occasion (mostly picky grammar and spelling stuff). I have extremely eclectic interests, and mostly browse around Wikipedia until I find something interesting to me. Thought I'd finally get an account so I'm not making anonymous edits. I think I have a pretty good idea of the scholarly thrust of Wikipedia, if you will, but I'm not exactly completely adept at making actual edits (going to be using that cheatsheet a lot).

[edit] About me
Computer Science major from Wisconsin. I've been involved via the internet with radical left-libertarian scholarship and activism. I'm now a third-year student at a tech/professional school studying CS with an emphasis in networking and, especially, an interest in GNU/Linux.
[edit] Random contact info
It's already all over the place, so I may as well share it. Feel free to contact me (not spam me) under the understanding that I don't exist for the sake of immediately answering your IMs or solving your problems.

- Revolutionary tactics
- Computers
- GNU/Linux & FOSS
- FOSS on Windows
- especially Virtualization, Compatibility and Interoperability
- Custom-built computers
- Security & Encryption
- Austrian Economics
- Music - too many likes to list
- TV & Film (but only good stuff, which is to say I don't like much)
- Lit
- Comedy
- Angling (or Fishing where I'm from)
