Hi, I'm here because I'm very interested in the goals of Citizendium - especially the part about a reliable and high-quality online encyclopaedia - so I'm going to try and do some stuff here, as time allows.
I actually wrote the very first new Citizendium article, at the start of October, 2006: Hokusai!
I'm a long-time Wikipedian (started there in August, 2003), but I became dissatisfied with various negative aspects of Wikipedia (as so many other Wikipedians have done - I think of the group of dissatisfied Wikipedians as 'Citizendium's recruiting pool' :-).
My Wikipedia home page gives an indication of the kind of things that I am interested in and write about. For more about me, look at my home page here:
Thumbnail bio
Born in 1956; attended Saltus Grammar School in Bermuda (which is where I am from), Phillips Academy (Andover) and M.I.T. My principal professional field is computer information systems, with a focus in computer networking. Most significant professional accomplishment: participated in the early development of the Internet (starting in 1977). I have significant and deep interests in many other areas, particularly history (especially military), art (especially Asian) and music.
For more, see an extended biographical note here.
