Knowledge is a very powerful thing.

I joined Wikipedia a number of years ago because I understand the value of information and data.

The profound changes occurring because of exponentially growing information technologies signals an end to the hierarchal control of previous generations.

Wikipedia stands as a beacon of information and data that does not rely on a hierarchy, but relies on individuals to self organize and create intelligent articles. This is a transformation like none other in our society and I want to be apart of it.

Taking part in this emerging encyclopedia is a privilege I will not soon take for granted.

I am a classically trained pianist with expertise in science, Web usability, software programming, law, and economic theory.

We must work together to create the data infrastructure that will help progress the world in which we live.
