My interests include academics, technology, information theory,electrical engineering, computer science, California, politics, television, vegetarianism, and popular music. Favorite pages to contribute to include:

• Information theory
• Huffman coding
• Universal code (data compression)
• Erdős–Bacon number (AfD)
• Allahpundit (AfD) (aborted AfD) (second full AfD)

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).

My biggest disappointment with Wikipedia was over a decade ago:

• Template:Linkimage

in which it seemed like "Consensus" meant "average opinion" of those who agreed with the administrators, and "censorship" could only be avoided by removing information, both templates and photographs.
