He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Who am I?

I'm Greg Rundlett. freephile is a moniker I chose a long time ago combining the ideals of "freedom" and the Greek "philos" to represent my affection for things like free thought, freedom of expression, free knowledge, freedom from oppression. I think it is unfortunate that the free software revolution which started in the mid 1980's is pretty much dead and captive to 'open source'.

Why this website?

This site serves as a showcase for some of the features and capabilities of the MediaWiki platform that powers Wikipedia. Wikipedia is one of the greatest achievements in the modern world: sharing the entirety of human knowledge to all for free.

What do I do with my time?

When not at work, I take to the beaches, woods, trails, and mountains of New England to enjoy swimming, hiking, disc golf and scenic motorcycle rides. My Interests also include organic gardening and photography.

As a board member of the Coastal Trails Coalition I work to expand the accessible multi-use trail network in and around Salisbury, MA

-I'm Greg "freephile" Rundlett. freephile means "lover of freedom" like "freedomphile" would be, except that in a moment of bad decision-making, I chose to shorten it; forever confusing the moniker with "free file"; which is not what it stands for at all.
