I'm a relative newbie around here, but I hope to contribute as time allows. I'm a professional geek in Portland, Oregon, currently studying Community Development and Socail Engagement with the aims of breaking my geekdom and getting a real job...

Many moons ago, I studied journalism and electronic media, and discovered that I didn't want that sort of professional life... which is why I love the Wikinews concept. I hope to get a lot more involved here... between work and classes and the rest of life, that is. :)
