I'm currently a student, CS major, Bostonian, Wisconsinite, typography geek, and lover of knowledge. I worship in the Cult of Vi. You can also find me on github. I find that life is a series of tradeoffs, usually between "how much time will I spend automating this monkey switch" and "how much time will I spend just flipping the damn thing O(ambiguous) number of times."

Interests on Wikipedia
Just getting started as a contributor to Wikipedia, but here are a few projects I'm looking at and am interested in:


 * WikiProject Books
 * I'm looking into how to help expand with the Dictionary article, which has mediocre to good reviews and is marked by multiple projects as high priority; specifically adding material with respect to non-English language dictionaries
 * Translation
 * I speak and write German, and lived in the country for a year as a high school student; the chief limit of my use of the language is that my working vocabulary has atrophied somewhat since returning to America several years ago
 * I'd like to work translating to share knowledge and reliable sources between the English and German Wikipedias
