I am a fortysomething Wikipedian originally from Boston, Massachusetts, United States. My interests include Spanish literature,  rock and ice climbing, running, cooking and gastronomy, maps, and the music of Radiohead. I tend to err on the side of inclusionism and am a true believer in  eventualism; however, I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger if I suspect  vandalism.

Other projects
I am an active user on the Bogleheads Wiki, a collaborative enterprise by the members of the Bogleheads Forum. The Bogleheads are dedicated to the dissemination of the investing philosophy of Vanguard founder John Bogle. From the Bogleheads Wiki:

The Bogleheads approach begins with an investor deciding on percentage allocations to various asset classes, such as U.S. stocks, international stocks, U.S. bonds, etc. The desired allocations are then implemented using low-cost vehicles which are true to the targeted asset classes. Tax costs are carefully considered, influencing decisions as to what investments to place in taxable versus tax-advantaged accounts. Bogleheads emphasize regular saving, broad diversification, and sticking to one's investment plan regardless of market conditions.
