Go slowly insane as you sit and stare...

Hi, I'm Axl Matulić, A.K.A. Anachronist. My old username User:Amatulic redirects here. My Wiktionary account Wiktionary:User:Anachronist offers an explanation of the username.

I am an administrator here on the English Wikipedia and a member of the Volunteer Response Team (VRT). I'm also a bureaucrat and administrator with the same username on the Minecraft Wiki.

Background

Professionally, I've had roles as scientist and engineer in the military field of stealth technology, entrepreneur leading a startup through acquisition, and more recently as a program manager for Silicon Valley tech companies. Now I'm retired, doing occasional freelance 3D design work.

I enjoy anime, role-playing games, educational topics, and especially travel. I'm first-generation American, my mother is German, my father is Croatian, my spouse is Singaporean. I have traveled all over Europe and Eastern Europe, also Canada and Mexico, as well as Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia (particularly Singapore as well as Malaysia and Thailand). I must say Croatia is one of the more beautiful countries I have ever seen, and Stockholm and Dubrovnik are the most beautiful cities I have visited. Unfortunately I have never set foot south of the equator (Singapore is the closest I've come), and hope to do that someday.

I enjoy good wine. Read my profile on the Wikipedia wine project.

Also, I maintain a mathematics-related blog, NABLU (Numerical Analysis Better Left Unsaid), which I update sporadically every few months, mostly for educational purposes and for my own amusement.

Third opinions

I enjoy offering third opinions in disputes between two editors who have reached an impasse. There's something satisfying about coming to an article I have no opinion about, studying the edit history and talk page discussion, and offering a neutral disinterested viewpoint in an attempt to resolve the dispute. I think the Wikipedia:Third opinion page is a great vehicle for dispute resolution, and more people should use it and participate. My third opinions:
