From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greetings. I'm an editor by trade, living in Virginia with my wife and daughter. I have a very wide range of interests, a head jammed full of trivia, and a house filled with books, many of them reference books of various kinds. As a kid, I used to pick up a random volume of the World Book Encyclopedia and start reading it, just to pass the time.
I use Wikipedia regularly both in my work and in my "recreational" surfing. If I happen to find errors or problems, it's hard for me to resist editing them. I don't intend to do much writing or to insert myself into the middle of controversies -- just don't have time for it.
I'm keeping myself anonymous only because I decided quite a while back to leave as little trace of myself on the Internet as possible. I'm big on Internet privacy.
I've been an Internet user since 1993. I remember downloading this thing called a "browser" and waiting five minutes for a page to load over my 14.4 modem. I like Wikipedia because it holds true to the early ideals of the Internet: "Information Wants to Be Free!"
