I am a fortysomething Wikipedian originally from Boston, Massachusetts, United States. My interests include Spanish literature, rock and ice climbing, running, cooking and gastronomy, maps, and the music of Radiohead. I tend to err on the side of inclusionism and am a true believer in eventualism; however, I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger if I suspect vandalism. Significant article contributions Burgos Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Favorite articles Although not an exhaustive list, here is a group of articles that I find myself returning to often for personal, professional, and aesthetic reasons. I will leave it to others to try to figure out why.

The Bogleheads are dedicated to the dissemination of the investing philosophy of Vanguard founder John Bogle. From the Bogleheads Wiki: “ The Bogleheads approach begins with an investor deciding on percentage allocations to various asset classes, such as U.S. stocks, international stocks, U.S. bonds, etc. The desired allocations are then implemented using low-cost vehicles which are true to the targeted asset classes. Tax costs are carefully considered, influencing decisions as to what investments to place in taxable versus tax-advantaged accounts. Bogleheads emphasize regular saving, broad diversification, and sticking to one's investment plan regardless of market conditions. ” Wikis of interest Battlestar Wiki - Free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide.
