About Me

I am an engineering geologist and an American ex-pat living and working in New Zealand. My work off-wiki is geotechnical investigation and rope access.

In my dealings with other editors, I find it helpful to first apply Hanlon's Razor.

I had a much older account when I was a teenager, which I lost access to (later restored). It is permanently inactive except for testing purposes.

I will usually respond relatively promptly if you ping me by name, as the system generates an email for me.

Random stuff:

This section is a hodgepodge of random stuff and/or links I find useful and/or funny:

Science is the adjustment of belief based on what is observed.
Faith is the denial of observation, so that belief can be preserved.
Ideology is the denial of reality, despite observation, so that belief can be preserved.
