I want to be a freelance genius when I grow up, but I'm looking to be a career academic, playing bassoon on street corners and having people pay me to go away.

You can email me by the sidebar link (which goes to mindspillage at gmail dot com), send an IM via AIM to LucidWaking, or leave me a message on my talk page. I am almost always in #wikipedia (as mindspillage when I'm around paying attention, and mind|wandering when I'm not). If you /msg me I'm likely to see it and return sooner.

The Mind's I

Kat in the hat, if you will...
Kat in the hat, if you will...

Greetings! You've reached the user page of Mindspillage, otherwise known as Kat Walsh. Note: if you've ever encountered another "mindspillage", it's almost certainly me; a "Kat Walsh" encountered elsewhere may or may not be.

I'm a recent graduate of Stetson University in DeLand, Florida, with a B.A. in music and a minor in math, concentrating on discrete math and music theory. I am a bassoonist and contrabassoonist, libertarian, extropian transhumanist, INTP, quiz bowler, agnostic atheist, and geek. I want to be a freelance genius when I grow up, but I'm looking to be a career academic, playing bassoon on street corners and having people pay me to go away. (Don't ask me what I'm doing in the short term, though.) I love 20th century classical music, as you can tell from my contributions, and I am a stickler for correct spelling and punctuation; sometimes, however, I love commas and semicolons, not wisely, but too well. Other interests include cognitive science, logic, philosophy, science fiction, and categorization. Also, my significant other was sucked in, after getting tired of me paraphrasing "sofixit" all the time when he asked me to go change something.

You can email me by the sidebar link (which goes to mindspillage at gmail dot com), send an IM via AIM to LucidWaking, or leave me a message on my talk page. I am almost always in #wikipedia (as mindspillage when I'm around paying attention, and mind|wandering when I'm not). If you /msg me I'm likely to see it and return sooner.


Multiple intelligences

A few of the hats I wear on Wikimedia:

  • Editor. First and most important.
  • I am an administrator here. Please feel free to ask me for admin help, or if you just need the ear of someone who ought to know what's going on.
  • I am an administrator on meta. If you need assistance there, just ask; either talk page works.
  • In October 2005 I was appointed to the Arbitration Committee. My term expires in December; I am not yet certain whether I will seek a second.
  • I also handle emails that come in to info-en@wikimedia.org as well as permissions@wikimedia.org, so you might see me doing strange things on behalf of people who've sent messages.

Pieces of mind

Occasionally I like to blather on about Misplaced Pages rather than do anything constructive...

It's really pretty simple:

I follow the one-revert rule as well as the the policy trifecta (shown neatly in a little box to the side, as arranged by its originator, Seth Ilys). I'm a strong believer in the simplified ruleset as a guide to almost any sticky situation. And I'm a strong believer in consensus and the supremacy and necessity of good judgment, over all.
