I reject the custom here that encourages anonymity. Own Your Words™! #f62367d See my Now page, and from that page explore the rest of my personal website.
I was in intellectual nirvana after discovering Wikipedia (WP) in 2001. (My first wikipedia-l posting was August 8 of that year.) I was sad to see Larry Sanger leave the project. I followed him to Citizendium. In 2019 I joined the Encyclosphere project. In 2023 I became a Justapedian, but I am earnestly trying not to burn any bridges here.
My contributions here speak for themselves. Compare with my edit count.
A decade ago I described how WP then fit into my blogging process at purl.org/net/tbc/blog/about. (Summary: I believed that WP was the most important blogging tool that existed.) That post is out of date. The important change is my new belief that Justapedia (JP) is the future. I continue to maintain my account here, but it's taken a backseat to JP. I'm jaded because it's hard to feel welcomed here anymore if you don't have hours and hours to spend writing, defending yourself, etc. Now I occasionally pop into JP to refresh a JP article or to drop in a factoid or two. Watch my contributions at JP grow.
