Hello there!
I enjoy learning, being outside in nature, listening to podcasts (my favorites are Ologies, Radiolab, and Sawbones), reading (and listening) to books and written media of all kinds. As you may have guessed by my user name, I have a particular affinity for high fantasy (and also sci fi) fiction novels. Yes, my username is a reference to Elwing the wife of Eärendil from the The Silmarillion.
I am passionate about the environment and protecting the longevity of our planet and thus I am a bit of a repair nerd. I strongly support the Right to Repair any device you own and the fact that some companies design their gadgets around planned obsolesce really makes me angry.
My goal in giving back to Wikipedia for years of free and accessable information is to start slowly helping to improve other pages. I'll be working to improve pages about (tech) devices (such as phones, tablets, computers, etc.) with the Tech Repairability WikiProject Proposal. I intend on citing reparability evaluations from reliable sources so that anyone learning about a device can see the past, present, and future of tech.
In my non-free time, I am an employee of iFixit. While I intend to contribute to Wikipedia in spreading the word of repairability, I will avoid writing about iFixit and instead focus on other sources the world has to support your right to tinker and repair.
