About me

My name is Marnen Laibow-Koser; I'm a composer/violinist/pianist/flutist/...ist/computer geek living in Poughkeepsie, New York, about 70 miles north of New York City. I mostly play classical, folk, and gamelan music, with forays into just about any other style imaginable. If you're in the Society for Creative Anachronism, you might know me as Ze'ev ben 'Arye, or perhaps you've met my alter ego Marcellus Wolfhurst (who's been spotted doing morris dances while playing fiddle). I'm also a nudist, and I've been known to be active in proselytizing the barefoot lifestyle.

So what does all that make me? The phrase "Gen-X post-hippie arts geek" springs to mind, but it's not exactly catchy. Better ideas, anyone?

I'll write a full bio soon, I hope. Meanwhile, see my website (http://www.marnen.org) or my LiveJournal (http://www.livejournal.com/~marnen) for more about me.

Pickypedia

I've just read Jason Scott's article The Great Failure of Wikipedia (http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/000060.html), and it got me thinking. While I don't agree with much of Scott's criticism, I think some of his points are valid enough that I am proposing an experiment to test them, tentatively called Pickypedia. I'd love feedback from anyone who cares to comment. 12:48, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
