User:Smack

I am currently 21 years old, and a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley. I'm in my first year researching electrical engineering, specifically microelectromechanical systems. I first edited an article in March of 2003, and started contributing on a regular basis in the wee days of May.

I haven't contributed actively in a little while. If you want my opinion on something, or my help with anything, please contact me through one of the channels listed below.

My nickname is a slang term, at least in Irvine, California, for a somewhat cocky smart person. I don't like it very much anymore, but I don't want to bother changing it.

My email address is ivg in the immediate vicinity of berkeley very small spot edu email-address harvesting software must die. ('92604' is my ZIP code. When I got this email address, Yahoo suggested that I be either smack16 or smack17, so I decided to go with a number I could remember.) You may also AIM at brainybuffoon, YIM me at smack92604, or ICQ me at 26220039. (I don't let people add me to their ICQ contact lists without authorization. If you request to add me, please mention Wikipedia.)

I've been too lazy to look at the the steady stream of obscure Wikipolicy that seems to be an inevitable byproduct of Wikiwork. If I break any rules, though, please do tell me.

Whenever I see an article, think that it needs a lot of work, and think that I'm capable of performing this work with at least an average level of competence, I put it on my To-do list.

I've written an essay. I've called it "A rewrite a day keeps the critics at bay".
