Hi, I'm Dale. I live in Brentwood, CA and attend Heritage High School. I have been a Wikipedian since seventh grade, but took a break until coming back with this account.

I am a high school student and I know my academics and extracurricular activities put me in good standing for a top university, but I am not headed that route. If you really want to know my academic and extracirricular specs, ask me.

I am a believer in self-education rather than public education, and love reading and learning about subjects of all kinds. If you want an education, go to a library. If you want to get laid, go to college. I probably will not go to college. Practically every piece of economic evidence out there says college is not worth the time and money. If you are smart in tech and business-savvy like me with connections, I would use the 4 year head start to get ahead of all the other suckers.

I am a computer geek (taught myself), and love to learn, discuss, and apply Linux and cybersecurity. (I use Ubuntu for all my computer work.) I still need to learn Python, Hadoop, Java, and HTML5 though. ;) I already have a working business plan for my future company, so we'll see how that turns out.

Another thing about me: I love business and intend to be an entrepreneur in technology before high school's over. If it is business theory/knowledge, chances are I know/considered it. And if you really want to know my idea, ask me. ;) I have a hefty army of connections.

Other facts: Subscribed to Foreign Affairs, future member of the Council on Foreign Relations, interested in economics, political science, writing stuff, tutoring, volunteering at a senior center (I hate it), cycling (the farthest I've cycled was from Brentwood to Pittsburg), and yeah... more to be added later.

I know I can join specific WikiProjects correlative to my interests, but it'd be more fun to be recruited. So I'm waiting for that to happen.
