Notes which may one day become a proper home page:

I tend to hang out on the New Zealand pages and Mac pages. Guess where I’m from and one of my hobbies ;-)

English is my second language; my primary being grunting.

Wikipedia's an amazing testimony of an enabling technology and group collaboration effort: in four years volunteers from around the world have recreated and surpassed the Encyclopedia Britannica, and growth is exponential.—Barefootguru, 2005-07

On the quality of Wikipedia: (as in genealogy) this isn't a primary source, but as a secondary source and collator of data, I think it’s great.

Saddest page on Wikipedia: Category:Failed Apple initiatives.

I really enjoy Wikipedia and if it paid the bills I’d spend a lot more time here. However it’s a hobby, so I limit myself—hard as it may be to pass up a good edit. I scored 79 on the Wikipedia:Are You a Wikipediholic Test (2005-12).

I tend toward copy-editing, fact checking, and collating rather than verbose prose.
