I am a young polyglot working at the low-tech end of the hi-tech industry - the Content department at Answers.com.

A decade of editorial experience really comes in handy when you have an academic background in philosophy and Semitic linguistics - there is always something that needs editing (and instead of flipping burgers at MacDonald's, I watch some language topics on WikiAnswers!)

In my not-quite-abounding spare time, I am an artist. My specialty is papercutting and glass etching, but I also design jewelry and dabble in watercolor. Some examples are at http://www.shayaloney.com
