| First edit | 2005 |
I'm grant, I live in South Florida, and I've been called an obscurantist by those close to me.
My interests include religious mysticism, metaphysics, tabloid culture, Everglades ecology, home recording, indie pop, Asian culture, surfing, vintage fashion, pulp literature, comic books, international adoption, outsider art, entheogenic research, cooking with garlic, marine biology, horror films (watching, criticizing, and making), sailing small boats and fringe science.
It seems like the first edits I made here using this name were to the Saoshyant article in 2005. I must've been writing about Zoroastrian prophecies at the time. (I'm sure I was editing Wikipedia articles before then, but not logging in to do so. It was a different time, you know, and names weren't as important.)
I edit for a living. Currently, for a group of travel publications; in years past, for the Sun tabloid -- the national paper that got the anthrax and had cover stories about Nostradamus and the End Times. Judging from IP records, there seemed to be other Wikipedia contributors elsewhere in the AMI newsroom (we all shared an address).
The first step is admitting you have a problem: I have a thing for online communications media. It was Merlin Mann's Pantywad that made me a wiki junkie, and Tom Coates' Barbelith that made it worse, back in the day. Subsequent to that, I was a trustee and co-founder of Liminal Nation, a community dedicated to rational discussion of spirituality, magic and other less- or more-than-rational topics.
I still operate the science-meets-music organization http://guildofscientifictroubadours.com/ , and sometimes collect and collate ideas at http://grantimatter.tumblr.com .
I'm not especially fond of badges.
