About
[edit]Originally from Atlanta, I now live in the Richmond, Virginia, USA area. By day, I am an information security consultant; at other times, I'm a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.
I'm an instrument-rated airplane pilot (ASEL), amateur (as in not-very-good) musician, motorcyclist (dirt and street) and the worst golfer imaginable.
Activities
[edit]Lately, I've spent a fair amount of time patrolling recent changes to high-volume Wikipedia pages. Wow! What an interesting experience! I feel I'm becoming something of a bastard regarding unsourced additions to the encyclopedia.
If nothing else, it's an incredible exercise in managing emotional responses, which is more difficult than I ever imagined it would be. This cute little image is both a reminder to me and a pointer to an article on the subject, if you're interested.
