I started with [[CZ:The Big Cleanup|The Big Cleanup]]. I've decided the best way to approach article-writing is to go after the topics where there aren't already at least hundred people here who could write them better than me. So I've done a few some calendar articles, and I'm filling in bits and pieces of sf culture, with plans to write articles on some of the major authors.
 
My first and third articles were on the [[Positivist calendar]] and [[French republican calendar]] respectively. I like watching the links turn blue as Citizendium expands.

Formal education

BS in Computer Science, Portland State University, with a minor in geology.

Work

I currently work as a software architect and developer (it's a small department), on a path to specializing as a usability guru. To answer the obvious followup question, Citizendium's expertise principle only applies to article content. But I'm trying to do what I can.

Major defineable interests

Languages; interaction between humans and machines; science fiction/fantasy and its community; geology and paleontology; cognitive and situational psychology; history outside of Western civilization. (Nothing against Western civilization, it's just that I get bored hearing about the same stuff over and over again.)

Other interests

Peter Cook put it best: "I am specializing in the Universe and all that surrounds it."
