Misplaced Pages

Hello and welcome to my user page. I was born and live in New York, United States and I received my B.Sc. in computer science from Binghamton University. My main areas of editing include articles related to science, technology, and electronics. When I'm not editing, I enjoy reading pages about history (especially military history), current and near-future technology, and articles related to a wide range of scientific topics. My areas of interest off-wiki include (among other things) programming, mathematics, and random science stuff.
I am an administrator here on Misplaced Pages, which basically means that if you need help with something, I can probably provide assistance; so please feel free to ask. As to where I came up with my username: long, boring story...
