My name is Dean Jackson; I live in the United States, specifically in Pittsburgh, PA, and also spent a number of years in Washington, DC.

I make most of my edits correcting spelling and grammar. Other than that, my interests include:
 * Computers and Computer Science, recently leaning towards web development.
 * Electronic Music, with focuses in Breakbeat, Downtempo, and psy/ambient.
 * Tent Camping, including Backpacking/Trekking, and outdoor events such as Burningman.
 * Firearms, for Hunting, Self Defense, Trap, and target Pistol.
 * Sports nutrition and Dietary Supplements.
 * Military History, specifically from World War II through the present.
 * Sociology and Cognitive Science.
 * Motorcycles, lately my dual-sport Wee-strom.
 * Non-fiction, science fiction, and graphic novels.
 * American Politics, World News, Political Systems, particularly leaned towards the Military-Industrial Complex.
 * Bicycles and triathlons.
 * The city, surroundings, and people of Pittsburgh are also a big favorite, followed by Washington, DC.

Some of the articles I've recently found to be amazing:
 * On metawiki: List of articles every Wikipedia should have
 * A List of Common Misconceptions

I'm currently trying to improve articles on:
 * Total Immersion - a type of instruction for long distance and recreational swimming.

I speak American English, and have learned and forgotten a small amount of Spanish and Japanese.

Things I'm leaving here to read later:
 * [Comparison_of_C_Sharp_and_Java]
