When not on Wikipedia, I'm a computer science PhD student specializing in artificial intelligence. I'm also rather interested in philosophy, ancient history, and assorted miscellany. As a hobby (?), I maintain a site attempting to make the scam-filled world of personal finance a bit clearer. As far as other hobbies go, I seem to spend most of my time listening to music. Currently my favorites are EBM, Industrial, synthpop, futurepop, neofolk, martial music, punk rock, and various bits of avant garde stuff.
I spend most of my time on the English Wikipedia, but I'm also sometimes active at Commons and on the Greek Wikipedia. I speak both Greek and English natively, but since I was born and raised in the U.S., I speak (and especially write) much better English. I've lived in the Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Santa Cruz areas, and have spent a good bit of time in Thessaloniki.
