Nick Black. I run this wiki. Try to avoid ending up on my Enemies list. If you'd like, feel free to buy me something from my Amazon wishlist. Stalking me? You'd do better consulting my blog at LiveJournal, or Facebook. Sometimes I edit Wikipedia articles, as well, and I love to review books on GoodReads. My music gets scrobbed to last.fm. Here are some other data streams I generate:
