Gecko is the playa name and the Wikipedia nom de plume of Jason Wells. He recently completed a undergraduate degree in philosophy from UCSD, focusing on logic, epistemology, philosophy of mind, neurophilosophy and knowledge representation. In the old days he used to work right next to 24 Hour Church of Elvis. JustFred is a friend of his.
