above from Wikimania 2006, which I helped run.

Salient facts:

• rocking the west coast since 2000
• academic reference librarian, specializing in engineering and computer science
• long-time Wikipedian
• unaffiliated with MIT, but longtime user of this name
• fond of: coffee, books, internet, open access, free culture, art, and getting places.
• prone to rambling here (when it's personal) and here (when it's work)
• at last count, I had user accounts on 17+ different wikis...
• but am a reluctant static website-updater.
