Here's my "[[brag tape]]" (as the [[amateur radio|hams]] using [[paper tape]] for [[RTTY]] say) of sorts:
Hello, I am Mr. [[Nuvistor]] (aka Ryan), Wikipedia has been somewhat of a godsend for me, as it allows me to let out some of my bottled-up knowledge.
 
I'm located in [[Bismarck, North Dakota]], [[USA]], and am quite a geek, especially in the fields of:
 
* [[computer]]s,
* [[telecommunications]] (especially anything to do with [[communications satellite]]s, I'm also a satellite hobbyist),
* [[film]],
* [[video]],
* general [[electronics]] (both [[digital]] and [[analog]]), and
* [[broadcasting]] (the latter being my field of employment, in [[public radio]]).
 
I also have a keen interest in music of all genres, especially:
 
* [[electronic music]] and all of its sub-genres & permutations, whether academic or for the dance floor (from [[Karlheinz Stockhausen|Stockhausen]] to [[Kraftwerk]] to [[Carl Craig]] to [[Miguel Migs]] to [[Dabrye]]),
* [[jazz]] (from [[John Coltrane]] to [[Rahsaan Roland Kirk]] to [[Lee Morgan]] to [[Cannonball Adderley]]),
* [[deep funk]], aka [[rare groove]] (from [[James Brown (musician)|James Brown]] himself to anything DJ [[Keb Darge]] spins or [[DJ Shadow]] makes a compilation from :) ).
* and any classic country as well (i.e. [[Johnny Cash]], [[Hank Williams Sr.]], [[Merle Haggard]], etc.).
 
My other interests are [[experimental film]] ([[Bruce Conner]], [[George Landow (filmmaker)|George Landow]] (aka Owen Land)) and [[video art]] ([[Bill Viola]], and the late [[Nam June Paik]]), two fields I want to dabble a bit in, especially since I'm currently in the midst of putting together a video & film studio in my 2nd bedroom :).
 
I've also created articles/made edits under the anonymous IP addresses of 24.111.18.50 and also 24.220.250.150 (and other addresses beginning with the [[octet (computing)|octet]]s of 24.220.x.x, due to my internet service having dynamic IP addressing), because somehow Wikipedia always keeps logging me out/forgetting that I logged in...
 
And here's my [[geek code]] (dated as the geek code may be):
