Hello!

edit

My real name is Ryan Zink. I was a CompuServe user at the age of 7 (I always thought it appropriate that my username started with a 7) and have been user of the World Wide Web since 1992 when I was introduced to it by my CS teacher in high school. I have used Wikipedia since 2004 but only recently did I find the need to create an account. I have only edited a couple of articles and written this user page. Very boring, I know!

Hobbies

edit

I choose to spend most of my time with family and work, and so personal pursuits take third place. I love science and math so from a young age I have been a hobbyist in radio electronics, computers, and other forms of technology but I believe I have yet to realize the full potential of my casual hobby-ing. A BMW fan, I previously owned a Z4 convertible (the 1995 movie GoldenEye made me a Bimmer enthusiast) and currently own an 328i.

Trivia

edit
  • I was formally educated as an accountant but am a self-taught technologist.
  • I am a fan of Top Chef.
  • I shoot Nikon.
  • My favorite gate is XNOR. NAND is a close second.
