Introduction/Background

Hello, and welcome to CZ! I am a recently Honorably discharged Soldier living in beautiful Tucson, Arizona.

My "job" in the Army was as an Information Technology Specialist, and now I work as a Senior Network Administrator at local Tucson Internet Services Provider DakotaCom. In the six months I've worked there I've learned so much I don't think I could summarize everything in a good size Wiki article. If you're interested in really learning networking in-depth, go work at a local ISP. For better or worse, you'll never be the same :-)

I've always been passionate about and interested in technology in its myriad forms, from computers to Sci-Fi, since around age 12 (the "Age of Reason" as it were).

If you're so inclined, you can read my résumé at nixwizard.net and see pictures of my life in Tucson (and my "past life" in Baghdad, Iraq) at the Gallery here

What We're Doing Here

  • Please see the video here for a description of what we're doing here, from "the horse's mouth," Larry Sanger himself.
  • If there is any doubt on the necessity of this project, please see Wikitruth for all the (somewhat biased) convincing one could possibly need.

Call for Help

Please help out on the Computers Workgroup articles! The four or five of us that regularly edit articles there can't do it alone. You can see related changes in the Workgroup here.

Images on CZ

See Image_talk:MOS_6502.jpg for an interesting dialog between myself and constable Stephen Ewen about importing images from Wikipedia or Wikipedia Commons. Things are definitely not always what they seem to be.

Current Project(s)

We have a license! Hopefully this will help to convince all those fence-sitters and nay-sayers to get off their fences, stop nay-saying, and contribute!
