Originally from and currently in the San Francisco Bay Area, I have a doctorate in electrical engineering, specifically information theory. My interests, aside from the obvious (academics, California, technology, engineering), include politics, television, vegetarianism, and popular music. Favorite pages to contribute to include:

I generally don't start articles (the last of these being a notable exception), although I have been known to add redirects, add to redirects, and take redirects and change/correct them into full-blown articles (e.g., Johann Tobias Mayer).

And here's the most disappointing result I've seen on Wikipedia:

in which a incredible number of Wikipedia processes, policies, and guidelines were ignored and violated by those who refused to check a dictionary for the definition of the word censorship. I suppose Wikipedia is more Orwellian than I'd thought from my years here: "Consensus" is the average opinion of those who agree with the administrators, and "censorship" can only be avoided by removing information, both templates and photographs.
