I am a New York-based retired attorney and software company executive. I have published The Ethical Spectacle, http://www.spectacle.org, a monthly webzine covering the intersection of ethics, laws and politics in American life, since January 1995. I am also the co-author of "Sex, Laws and Cyberspace" (Henry Holt 1996), an early history of Internet censorship. My Wikipedia contributions so far consist mainly of adding references to existing articles (for example, I contributed a section of cultural references to the article on the island of Kythera). I have just begun some translation work on pages brought over from French Wikipedia. I plan next to edit articles to eliminate redundancy and fuzzy writing and will work my way up to eventually contributing some new articles of my own. Still marveling at an organization and supporting technology which enable me to pitch in and do something meaningful if I can't sleep or have an hour to kill in the afternoon.
