Introduction/Background
I'm currently an Active Duty soldier in the United States Army, deployed to Baghdad, Iraq. My "job" in the Army is as an Information Systems Operator/Analyst, which basically translates to "a geek in the Army."
I've always been passionate about and interested in technology in its myriad forms, from computers to Sci-Fi, since around age 12 (the "Age of Reason" as it were).
If you're so inclined, you can read my résumé at nixwizard.net and see pictures of my life in Tucson (and Baghdad unfortunately) at the Gallery here
Changing Focus
I'm going to change my focus on CZ for a while, possibly indefinitely. I'm going to focus on "polishing up" articles I work on until they gain approval status, rather than "blazing through" Citizendium and starting stub after stub that doesn't get "cleaned up" and ready for approval status. I ask that Computers Workgroup editors help me in this endeavor. I hope this change of focus will help Citizendium. We're all working towards a better "free encyclopedia" in the long run, right? :)
Call for Help
Please help out on the Computers Workgroup articles! The four or five of us that regularly edit articles there can't do it alone. You can see related changes in the Workgroup here.
Images on CZ
See Image_talk:MOS_6502.jpg for an interesting dialog between myself and editor Stephen Ewen about importing images from Wikipedia or Wikipedia Commons. Things are definitely not always what they seem to be.
