I am currently a young professional working as an Information Security Specialist somewhere in Washington, D.C. I hold an Associate's in Information Technology from NVCC and am working (infrequently) on my B.S. in Information Technology from George Mason University. My interests include data organization, networks, philosophy, critical thinking, observation, and although I play as a Blood Elf I do not endorse evil whatsoever.

In the past I have contributed to U.S. Government articles within Wikipedia, and reported on the Wired-sponsored Assignment Zero. (Profile here, contributions here)

List of Wikipedia articles I have authored and/or contributed to:


Quack!

Philosophies

Humor

In contrast to the serious efforts of projects, I find that often ridiculous insignificancies amuse me greatly. Within the scope of CZ, here are a few that I enjoyed.

  • 12:23, 4 April 2007 Larry Sanger (Talk | contribs) unblocked Stephen Ewen (contribs) (Stephen, please don't block yourself. ROTFL)
  • 12:20, 4 April 2007 Larry Sanger (Talk | contribs) unblocked Stephen Ewen (contribs) (It's too embarrassing to explain)

  • 08:40, 30 January 2007 blocked "Stanley matthews (contribs)" with an expiry time of infinite (Name of dead British footballer)
  • 10:52, 26 January 2007 blocked "The Gambler (contribs)" with an expiry time of infinite (Las Vegas is somewhere else)

Neutrality

There are three properties that I believe should be adhered to in the context of this project when it comes to non-philosophical topics: fact, relevancy, and neutrality.

  • Fact: Everything that pertains to a particular subject should not be made up or speculated on. There should be no lies and no conjecture. I believe in trails, audits, and observations. That which is shown to be absolutely provable.
  • Relevancy: There will always be a percentage of information which points to a demonstratable conclusion. Only the upmost definitive evidence that shows A leads to B should be included.
  • Neutrality: Every viewpoint should be shown, and substantiated with credible sources. Credibile does not mean "existing", "popular", or "notable"; but rather those sources that are known to exhibit only the observable and objective truth and not an agenda or bias. Documentation is a must.
