I'm interested in heuristic, and especially how wikis can facilitate collaborative discovery.

I wrote the "Green Light Wiki", where I host a couple wikis, one on improvisational theater and one where the object is to restate, in your own words, the ideas in a peculiar book by Lenore Thomson.

I had a tiny role in the early history of Wikipedia (see below).

I currently (2013) live in Bloomington, Indiana, where I'm getting a Ph.D in computer science and cognitive science at Indiana University. My favorite city is San Francisco, and I hope to return there.
