What happened to Icarus after he fell? Most likely, he wound up in the ocean, where he probably drowned. In that tale there lies a message about hubris. But, sadly, Icarus would be incinerated before even reaching a proximal distance of the sun.

I choose that as my name, because I like the painting by Pieter Bruegel Landscape with the Fall of Icarus. But also because i think it is an apt metaphor for how human beings interface with knowledge. Individually, we too often try to do good, without thinking through what is the likely outcome of the greatness seeking behavior. I want my contribution to wikipedia to be a testament against the mantra of doing just hoping for good outcomes. And I think wikipedia is the best current platform to do it on.

If your reading this, that is cool might change in the future.
