I joined this wiki in 2007 and was around intermittently for many years, except recently.  When Citizendium teetered in mid 2020, I returned after a long hiatus and took ownership of the domain to help the project continue, in honor of the past great efforts by Larry, Anthony, Milt, Norman, Ro and others, and the continuing efforts of John S. and the current technical staff.  The sense of community possible here is especially valuable during the COVID-19 shutdowns.

My interests in this wiki are as often personal as professional, and wide ranging.  On the academic side:
 
* M. A. in public sector management (Fels Center, Univ. of Penn., 1992)
* M. S. in computer science (Univ. of Tenn., 1983)
* B. A. in liberal arts (Univ. of Tenn., 1974)

I live in the United States with a spouse and cat(s). Worked 40 years as a programmer, sysadmin, professor, and tech-of-all-trades consultant. Formal education: M.A. in public sector management; and M.S. in computer science, most of a Ph.D. (not completed) in Germanic linguistics and literature, and B A. in liberal arts, major English. I joined this wiki in 2007. Some articles I have worked on:
