I've been reading Wikipedia for quite some time now, as well as providing minor edits on occasion (mostly picky grammar and spelling stuff). I have extremely eclectic interests, and mostly browse around Wikipedia until I find something interesting to me. Thought I'd finally get an account so I'm not making anonymous edits. I think I have a pretty good idea of the scholarly thrust of Wikipedia, if you will, but I'm not exactly completely adept at making actual edits (going to be using that cheatsheet a lot).

About me
Computer Science major from Wisconsin. I've been involved via the internet with radical left-libertarian scholarship and activism. I'm now a third-year student at a tech/professional school studying CS with an emphasis in networking and, especially, an interest in GNU/Linux.

Interests
In no particular order of importance (I'm probably most likely to edit articles vaguely having to do with these):
 * Anarchism
 * Rothbardian "Anarcho-capitalism" (a misnomer, in my overrated opinion)
 * Agorism
 * Revolutionary tactics
 * Computers
 * GNU/Linux & FOSS
 * Bash!
 * FOSS on Windows
 * especially Virtualization, Compatibility and Interoperability
 * Custom-built computers
 * Security & Encryption
 * Austrian Economics
 * Music - too many likes to list
 * TV & Film (but only good stuff, which is to say I don't like much)
 * Lit
 * H.P.Lovecraft
 * Stephen King
 * E.A. Poe
 * Comedy
 * Mitch Hedberg
 * Jim Gaffigan
 * Bob & Tom
 * George Carlin
 * Not Dane Cook or other talentless hack charlatans
 * Angling (or Fishing as we call it where I'm from)
 * The ethics of Intellectual Property
 * Anti-copyright
 * Epistemology
 * Gaming. Favorites include:
 * Halo Series
 * Ninja Gaiden Black
 * Bioware's Neverwinter Nights series
 * especially SOU
 * Skepticism
 * Cryptozoology
 * Ghosts/Paranormal
 * I'm a big fan of Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International as a skeptic
 * Alien Abduction
 * New Age Spiritualism, Chakras, Astral Projection, and so forth
 * Spontaneous Human Combustion, Stigmata, Chiromancy, Backmasking, and other stuff that may or may not be bunk
 * think that's enough for now!
