About Me
Name: Nic “RedWord” Smith
Temperament: INTP.
Education:
Currently working toward a Master’s in Economics at Northern Illinois University.
Bachelor’s from Ripon College.
—Major: Economics.
—Minors: Latin and Computer Science.
Favorite Blogs: Overcoming Bias, Less Wrong.
Hobbies: Computer programming, playing Exalted with my friends, cooking and baking, writing.
Websites (Operated): I have a database of anime called FanCruft.
Goals: I arrange most of my long term goals into a “grid” shown here:
| Physical Immortality/Extreme Life Extension | Become an Economist | Build a Destiny Prognostication Engine and seize the fate of billions. |
| Make a video game | Build FanCruft into a “top 10″ anime site. | Lose Weight |
| Design the world’s most awesome mansion. (Building it will come much later) | Sparking Now – Program a Personal Time and Space Management Program. | [Private goal - Social. Placing this goal online might compromise my ability to achieve it.] |
Goals toward the top are more important, goals toward the left are less probable of being successful.
Trivia: I was a webcomic artist and writer for about two or three months.
I used to be active on Alt.config and wrote a now long-lost guide to it.
I once wrote a humorous Grimoire that I tried to sell on CafePress.
I am an adminstrator on the English Wikipedia.
I am a trader on the Foresight Exchange. I held a majority of the Gore08 NO coupons. To everyone who voted in the 2008 election and did not cast a write-in vote for Al Gore, I thank you sincerely. To the few poor, pitiful fools that did vote for Al Gore, and I’m sure there are a few of you out there: <voice style=”Nelson”>Ha-Ha!</voice>
