About me
I have a B.A. in philosophy from St. Olaf College. My post-graduation experiences have ranged from day trading to working on a patent for audio equalization. Like most people who study philosophy, I'm interested in quite a few rather disparate things.
Interests
- Wikis
- Future technological change (I find Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near" to be a very important, if somewhat naive, book- my review is here)
- Frontiers in virtual worlds and games (ranging from Second Life to Spore)
- Algorithmic content analysis
- Various aspects of biology including neurology, genetics, and evolution. I have a particular interest in how constraints from physical chemistry and biochemistry may limit cellular and organismal complexity.
These are merely interests. I am far from being an expert about any of these things. Some day, perhaps. :)
I blog at http://moderndragons.blogspot.com/.
Citizendium
I'm a constable here on Citizendium. Please let me know if you need a hand with something.
To Do List
In the short term, I plan on helping with blog outreach and continuing to help with personnel duties. I also want to sink my teeth into some articles. In the longer term, well, I'm trying to figure that out.
