Hi. Please tell me if you need help. I usually respond. I'm essentially retired, so I'm pretty easygoing.

Collaborative game development

I have been greedily using Wikipedia since its inception, but I have only been giving back for a little more than a year.

I'm an optimist mostly because no country has attacked another with a nuclear weapon since 1945 and because it takes fewer clicks to clean Wikipedia than to vandalize it.

Despite my username, I'm rather mediocre at wakeboarding.

Language
I use Google Translate and Wiktionary to practice languages as I encounter them. It's a slow but enjoyable process.

I worked on programming languages professionally, so I can read a variety of them pretty easily. However, I typically only respond to requests for those that are listed. I do all of my personal coding projects in Mathematica unless the hardware platform doesn't support it.

These boxes make me laugh. Of course, I'm more understanding of people that are learning English as a second language. Perhaps they will find them to be helpful.

Interests
I plan to sign up for a bunch of WikiProjects and bounce among them. I'll organize them later.
