▲Vorticity is one of the admins around this place. You can blame him for all of the errors that were made in importing from [[TV Tropes (Wiki)]].
▲Vorticity is a [[So Calization|Southern Californian]] meteorologist. And no, it's not [[Its Always Sunny in Miami|Always Sunny in California]]. He got his degree from [[California University]], [[California]], [[Eagle Land]] -- [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]'s signature is on his diploma.
His real name is Brent Laabs. A Google search suggests the name is [[One Steve Limit|unique]]... that whole list is his ridiculous exploits.
Vorticity got into this whole wiki editing in college, where the town has its very own wiki, daviswiki.org. Since he hates [[Facebook
His personal website is at [http://www.brentlaabs.com brentlaabs.com].

Line 53 ⟶ 62:
* [[Edit War|Edit Warrior]]: Veteran of the Edit Wars over on Davis Wiki, though I've been told that less than 6% of my over 5000 edits were reverts, so not that bad. (For users of this wiki, take that to mean that Edit Wars are not all that bad -- refusing to compromise is the actual problem for most Edit Warriors.)
* [[Failed a Spot Check]]: constantly
* [[For Science!]]: Science is always a valid reason for all sort of social experiments, right?
* [[If
* [[The Lancer]]: My most comfortable position is in helping someone else get to the top, and giving them [[What the Hell, Hero?]] speeches when they need it. I am not comfortable being the lead administrator of this site, but here we are. I hope this means I'm just more open other people's input, and I'll grow into [[The Hero]].
* [[Newspeak]]: I'm fluent in it due to my participation in the [[The Ministry of Truth|Inner Party]] of the Students for an Orwellian Society (at UCD)
** [[Insane Troll Logic|Orwellian Goodthink]]: Playing the [[Strawman Political]] at the [[Bourgeois Bohemian|Whole Earth Festival]] was just too much fun. Naturally, the [[Ayn Rand|Objectivist club]] thought we were [[Late to the Punchline|serious]].
Line 61 ⟶ 70:
* [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist]]: Maybe he would have actually gotten a degree in grad school if he weren't involved in other fields.
* [[Playful Hacker]]: Suspended in high school for "hacking", for walking through [[Swiss Cheese Security]] and literally using [[MS Paint]] to add a hammer-and-sickle to a find-your-career program's splash screen. My language of choice is [[Vaporware|Perl 6]], where I contributed a bit to the IO system of the [http://rakudo.org/ Rakudo] compiler, though I use Perl 5 the most for my day job.
* [[Principia Discordia]]: Made a pilgrimage to Emperor Norton's grave on [[
* [[Pungeon Master]]
* [[Spoony Bard]]: I tend to [[Jack of All Trades|avoid specialization]] and sing tenor. And play Bard [[Player Characters]] too often.
