I started contributing to wikipedia on exactly December 31, 2002.[citation needed] The range of my interests is probably not much different from other geeks; they include computer science, particularly programming languages, the interpretation of them and designing (not implementing) operating system concepts, theoretical mathematics, especially set and category theories, TV cartoons, Japanese animations and manga such as the Simpsons, the Ghost in the Shell and Love Hina. I read, among Japanese newspapers and magazines, International Herald Tribune and The Economist. My favorite podcast[1] is In Our Time, a discussion program. I switched from ThinkPad to iBook G3 in early 2003 and bought a new G4 iBook in March 2005. To read Kant or, say, just to look smart, I am studying German using the book in Wikibooks, with a hope that I will be able to provide some valuable learning experience afterward. I'm a reader of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost.
