User:SeanO

Hello, SeanO here.

I live in Chicago, Illinois. I'm a bureaucrat by trade. A jazz singer by avocation.

WEB: Officemonkey.org. AIM: I'm at "lifegoestoaparty".

I came here from Ward Cunningham's WikiWikiWeb and the Bookshelved Wiki.

I created this page here in February, 2003, but I edited several pages earlier than that.

FEMA Project
My latest fixation is to write articles for every FEMA director. See my contributions at:


 * John Macy
 * Louis O. Giuffrida
 * Julius W. Becton, Jr.
 * Wallace Stickney
 * John Magaw
 * James Lee Witt
 * R. David Paulison

"Sure, anyone can write a Wikipedia article on Mike Brown, but how many people can write one on John Macy??"

Jazz Project
Pages I'm proud to have contributed to:


 * Benny Goodman
 * Louis Armstrong
 * Lionel Hampton
 * Nat King Cole
 * Fletcher Henderson
 * Harold Arlen -- so far, I'm the sole author...
 * Nellie Lutcher -- ditto.
 * King Pleasure -- ditto.
 * Johnny Hodges
 * Illinois Jacquet
 * Artie Shaw
 * Sammy Davis, Jr.
 * Joe Williams (jazz singer)
 * Bessie Smith
 * Dashiell Hammett
 * Nina Simone
 * Bubber Miley
 * Tricky Sam Nanton

Perhaps you can tell I like Jazz.

Armstrong Number
My Armstrong Number is three. I've defined the Armstrong Number to be similar to the Erd&, except using Louis Armstrong and jazz performance as criteria.

Louis Armstrong (0) -> Barrett Deems (1) -> Mark Sonksen (2) -> SeanO (3).

I also have a Bacon number of three.

Kevin Bacon (0) -> Steve Guttenberg (1) -> Colin Quinn (2) -> SeanO (3) (I appeared in the MTV game show Remote Control in the late 1980s.)

Sadly, I don't have an Erd&, but I know someone that does.
