"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious."
— Albert Einstein, Letter to Carl Seelig, 11 March 1952

I am an active volunteer editor since December 2006, as well as an avid student of History, Anthropology and Language. My contributions around here have covered a wide range of topics, but often focus on heraldry, medieval history, and some of the places I have been. I enjoy traveling and have visited 45 U.S. states, as well as Japan, Korea, Mexico, Canada, Iceland, Sweden, and (briefly) Finland.

I am also a member of the SCA (since A.S. XXX), where I participate in Arts and Sciences events and armored combat, and I study Heraldry, Tafl games, and other historical board games. I enjoy listening to a broad range of music, especially Opeth, Amon Amarth, Sigur Rós, Nine Inch Nails, and too many others to list here.

Það Besta Sem Guð Hefur Skapað Er Nýr Dagur

The best thing god has created is a new day.

Did you know... ... that King Edward III of England ordered in 1349 to have stars effaced from the coat of arms of Sir Amery of Pavy for trying to sell Calais, a seaport of which he was made the governor, to the French? (13 Oct, 2012)
