I finally signed up for an account recently, although I've been reading Overcoming Bias since the end of 2006. I already considered myself the atheist/skeptic type (found my way here from ScienceBlogs, which leans heavily in that direction) and was vaguely interested in AI, so I was hooked pretty quickly and have enjoyed the ongoing process of generalising my atheism/skepticism to rationalism in general.

I'm now a first-year undergrad at Cambridge University, studying Spanish and Russian (planning to switch to linguistics after one more year). I don't expect I'll be saying very much around these parts -- I'm fairly out of my depth on most topics discussed and am mostly here to learn, as I certainly have been doing from OB for many months. Thank you to all the contributors there and here on LW!
