About me
Please contact me if you have questions about any of my edits.

What I do here
Most of my activity here is either creating small entries where there are none, or else correcting entries that I am interested in. I created the first Wikipedia entries for Virginia d'Albert-Lake, Zeev Almog, ARM Manuel Azueta (D-111), ARM Netzahualcóyotl (D-102), Asteroid (3163) Randi (since renamed 3163 Randi), Albert L. Becker, Jeff Bezos, Jean-Marie Bigard, Julian Bigelow, Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis, Kurt Bollacker, Brandeis University, Susan Buffett, Andreas Cahling, Chumley's, the Connection Machine, Gato class submarine, Glenn B. Hamm, Heloise, the Internet Archive, Yojiro Ishizaka, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, David Mechner, Mita Bungaku, Momson lung, Jim Morris (bodybuilder), Alexander Nequam (entry since renamed Alexander Neckam), Leonard Peskett, Naomi Pierce, Route 128 (since renamed Massachusetts Route 128), Thinking Machines, John Thompson (inventor), Tokyo-Ga, Charles Tufts, James Walker Tufts, Sonny Tufts, Tufts University, Misa Uehara, Eiiti Wada, Walt Disney Imagineering, Waltham, Massachusetts, Gordon Warner, Alice Waters, Western Connecticut State University, and Oeda Yusuke.

My first edit with a username was on August 13, 2002, though I edited from an IP address starting in June, 2002 before creating an account. Some of these early unregistered edits are here (and possibly here as well). I became an administrator in July 2003.

This is the most time and effort I have put into a free (as in speech) project.
