Introduction/Background

I'm currently an Active Duty soldier in the United States Army, deployed to Baghdad, Iraq. My "job" in the Army is as an Information Systems Operator/Analyst, which basically translates to "a geek in the Army."

Career-wise I've always been passionate about and interested in technology in its myriad forms, from computers to Sci-Fi, since around age 12 (the "Age of Reason" as it were).

If you're so inclined, you can read my résumé on http://nixwizard.net and see pictures of my life in Tucson (and Baghdad unfortunately) at http://nixwizard.net/pics/main.php

On the Citizendium, I plan on working within my scope of knowledge. Therefore I will probably be making edits in the CZ Computers Workgroup and the Military Workgroup.

Call for Help

Please help out on the Computers Workgroup articles! The four or five of us that regularly edit articles there can't do it alone!
