User:Aidan Elliott-McCrea

Aidan Elliott-McCrea adores information. And searchable databases. And natural selection. Therefore he really, really approves of Wikipedia.

My particular interests include (but are not limited too):

1. Evolutionary Biology
2. Linguistics (though I'm just starting on this)
3. Several odd regions of Math like:
   1. Number Systems &
   2. Multi-dimensional Geometry (see Polychora for now)
4. Ancient History
5. Anthropology, as sort of the blending of 1 and 4
6. Science Fiction, particularily that with good World-Building[?]
7. And, should be fairly obvious by this point in the list, I'm a Tolkien-freak.

Most or all of these interests are unified in being outgrowths of my fondness for taking a pattern, and pushing further, just to see what happens.

I've got my own website running a wiki:
http://www.sedesdraconis.com
But it's only using wiki software as an editor interface and information architect, it's not freely collaborative. It's a start on presenting my World-Building[?].

As of 2002.04.29: my website (sedesdraconis (http://www.sedesdraconis.com)) now shows up on google (http://www.google.com) searches! 'S very exciting. For example someone found my page doing a search for comparative charts on infant mortality rates (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=comparative+charts+on+infant+mortality+rates), for which I happen to be the very top result. Hopefully they weren't too disappointed :)

Lists mostly for my own purposes:

pre-PHP script contributions (minor stuff, all):

• Carnivora
• Ungulate
• the seal-fur seal-earless seal-walrus-Odobenidae complex
• and the Akallabeth

plus I started to write a little comment on talk:Dinosaur and got sort of carried away and ended up writing The Brief History of the Mesozoic according to Aidan ;-).
