I'm from the Seattle area and work in tech, specifically video games and technology research. I stopped working full time in 2022 and am taking some time to do consulting work and figure out what to do next. The subjects I know the most about personally are fiber arts, video games, and human-computer interaction, but I also love editing for readability and clarity.

Turns out I found the same article cited in the previous paragraph. - 18:53, 14 January 2024 diff hist +174‎  Spinning wheel ‎ →‎Treadle wheel: added citation for single vs double treadle considerations, slight clarity edit and added that ergonomics is a consideration - 18:45, 14 January 2024 diff hist +170‎  Spinning wheel ‎ →‎Electric spinning wheel - 18:37, 14 January 2024 diff hist +193‎  Spinning wheel ‎ →‎Upright style: Added citation for Irish Castle wheel, slight readability edits - 18:33, 14 January 2024 diff hist +440‎  Spinning wheel ‎ →‎Double drive: Added a citation for materials a drive bad is made of. Added some clarification to the spinning mechanics: the yarn doesn't continually wind on, but similar to single-drive setup there is slippage while the yarn is held in tension and wind-on when the tension is let up. - 18:27, 14 January 2024 diff hist −442‎  Spinning wheel ‎ →‎Single drive: Added information on Scotch vs. Irish tension, removed two 'citation needed' graphs and added information that is backed up by the Schacht page to cover brake band drag. - 06:03, 2 October 2023 diff hist 0‎  Madalyn Murray O'Hair ‎ →‎Investigation and arrests: "had went" -> "had gone" - 06:02, 2 October 2023 diff hist −1‎  Madalyn Murray O'Hair ‎ →‎Investigation and arrests: removed incorrect comma. - 06:01, 2 October 2023 diff hist −1‎  Madalyn Murray O'Hair ‎ →‎Investigation and arrests: removed incorrect comma. - 06:11, 27 June 2023 diff hist −5‎  Oklahoma!
