From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. By trade I am an accountant, but I harbour deep fascinations with a myriad of topics including history, sociology, religion, philosophy, literary theory, linguistics, epistemology, and quantum mechanics, especially as they relate to current events. As such, I have a feeling Wikipedia will prove not to be but a passing interest of mine; in fact, it has already threatened to become an obession.

Wikipedia is an extraordinary and exciting opportunity with great epistemological implications, and quite reasonably has the potential to become as important as that silly book of words Samuel Johnson penned and called the 'Dictionary'. That said, I have used Wikipedia for about two years now but have only recently begun to make contributions -- and even then, usually only in the form of minor edits.

Currently I am in the process of acquiring a business degree in accounting at SAIT.
