My name is Matthew Hunt.  I work in the field of [[remote sensing]].  I am an alumnus of [[Penn State]] (B.S., [[Physics]] and [[Astronomy]], 1998) and [[Caltech]] (Ph.D., [[Astrophysics]], 2004).  I live in [[Croyle Township, Pennsylvania]], near my hometown of [[Johnstown, Pennsylvania]].  I have also lived in [[Pasadena, California]], [[Ridgecrest, California]], and [[Lancaster, California]].  My username is a reference to [[autocross]].  My other hobbies include [[photography]], [[birding]], [[food]], and [[wine]], and I am a former [[FreeBSD]] committer.

One of my Wikipedia edits has been mentioned in the media. On August 11, 2006, [[King Kaufman]] of [[Salon.com]] quoted [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=King_Kaufman&diff=prev&oldid=68869074 this edit summary] in his [http://www.salon.com/sports/col/kaufman/2006/08/11/friday/ daily column:]
:Soon there was a notation in the item that I'd written a column on Aug. 10, 2006, bemoaning the fact that my item might be deleted. Whoa, feedback loop! That was removed in short order as a "navel-gazing reference to Wikipedia."

:Yeah, I hate navel-gazing self-reference, don't you?
The title of the column was "Down with self-referential navel gazing! Or, Wikipedia and me, Part 2. And did I mention me?".

If there's anything on [http://www.flickr.com/photos/coneslayer/ my Flickr photostream] that you think would be valuable in Wikipedia, let me know, and I'll consider licensing it appropriately.
