== Me ==
A 29 year old former software developer hailing from [[Long Island]], [[New York]] in the [[United States]].
Having entirely burned out from the rigors of the [[Software engineering|software development]] field, I was (after some reflection) quite pleased to be [[Downsizing|laid off]]. Almost immediately I decided, with the support of my lovely wife Jennifer, to return to [[Stony Brook University]] where I am working on my [[Doctor of Philosophy|PhD]] in [[developmental genetics]].
I recently joined the [[welcoming committee]], and have been doing my best to make Wikipedia a better (and better informed) place. My particular interests are diverse: everything from local history, to music (especially [[Lo-Fi bands]] such as [[Neutral Milk Hotel]] other others of the [[Elephant Six]] Collective), to religion, to the sciences.
Any that wish to contact me may write on my [[User_talk:ClockworkTroll|talk page]], or email me at [mailto:[email protected] [email protected]].

I've decided that I would like to create or vastly improve at least three articles per week. This is only a goal, however... the life of a grad student is a taxing one.
== Significant Contributions ==
Well, there's really not all that much here just yet.
That will change.
