Old information
I am the administrator of Wikisocion, a comprehensive wiki site for the socionics community. I can be reached for comment about socionics and have tried to correct some of the numerous errors in the socionics article here at Wikipedia. I consider socionics a protoscience or pseudoscience and advocate purely scientific investigations into the realm of interpersonal relationships and compatibility. I'm not sure getting more people interested in socionics would be a good thing.

I also run a popular web portal on Ukraine, TryUkraine.com, a site about skiing in Ukraine, SkiUkraine.info, and a Russian-language site on ultralight backpacking, Legkohod.com. I am knowledgeable about geography, travel, mountains, and things Russia and Ukraine related. I speak Russian fluently and am an advanced Spanish and German speaker.

My favorite activity is backpacking. In 2009 I hiked the 2660-mile-long Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. Other than that, I like to write, play musical instruments, and meet interesting people.
