I am Dale, a high school sophomore in Northern California, and programmer working on FuturICT. I have been a Wikipedian since seventh grade, and decided to get back on.

''Oh god, writing here reminds me how much my college personal statement is going to be senior year! :P''`

Anyway, my page is very basic at the moment. I will update it later. I also intend to get into hardcore editing later too.

Now, about me: I am soon to be sixteen, living in a comfortable house in a suburban town in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a computer geek and business geek. A mentor's advice got me into computers, and I have turned myself into a security and Linux mini-expert. My computing adventures have taken me to Python programming, the world of hacking um computer security, and Linux. Right now I am also working on the FuturICT project, learning Hadoop and MapReduce to program servers to collect data on domestic energy usage.

My other interests include: writing, Team Fortress 2, academia, international politics (I'm an NWO/CFR fan), business/economics, girls, friends, cycling, and world domination.
