I'm an academic in Information Systems, although my undergraduate and most of my postgraduate work was in philosophy. I'm interested in Fantasy and Science Fiction, Adelaide, Philosophy, Anime and a number of computing and Information Systems subjects — especially as regards Knowledge Management, which is my main area of academic study.

Wheat Fields is a series of dozens of paintings by Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. The close association of peasants and the cycles of nature particularly interested Van Gogh, such as the sowing of seeds, harvest and sheaves of wheat in the fields. Van Gogh saw plowing, sowing and harvesting symbolic to man's efforts to overwhelm the cycles of nature. This oil-on-canvas Wheat Fields painting, also sometimes known as Wheat Field with Alpilles Foothills in the Background, was created in June 1888 and is now in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Painting credit: Vincent van Gogh | |||||||||

I tend to edit widely, as often I wish to improve articles because I see them as important for Wikipedia, rather than because I'm interested in the topic (although I have rather eclectic tastes and reasonably liberal sentiments). I have access to a number of good databases thanks to academia, so I'm not bad at referencing, and I'm always willing to give it a shot when asked. Generally I'll help wherever I can, and I particularly enjoy that feeling which comes from being useful. :) I've also got one of those new digital camera things, and I enjoy taking photos.
Although she rarely edits (try as I might to convince her otherwise) my wife has been known to use her Ruth-AnneMJ account. So we may edit from the same network location.
