This page had a bunch of old info on it. My enwiki user page also has a bunch of old stuff on it!

As of August 2021: I'm currently Deputy General Counsel at Creative Commons. Between 2006 and 2013 I was a board member of the WMF. I used to be an active editor of enwiki, and now I mostly just correct things when I notice someone is wrong on the internet.

-If there's anything I can help you with, feel free to contact me. My [[en:User:Mindspillage|user page on the English Wikipedia]], which I consider my "home project", has more information on my involvement in that project (as well as a bit more silliness and trivia!). If you're looking for something Wikipedia-specific, please check there.

-I am largely responsible for both [[Polls are evil]] and [[How to win an argument]] here,as well as the parody "[[If I Were An Admin]]". You decide how serious each one is. Most of my work here on meta deals with maintaining the [[OTRS]] pages as well as some of the [[Communications committee]]-related sections. For local involvement, you can view my user contributions on [[Special:Contributions/Mindspillage|Wikipedia]], [[n:Special:Contributions/Mindspillage|Wikinews]], and [[commons:Special:Contributions/Mindspillage|Commons]].
