I have yet to make any major contributions. Generally, I correct spelling and grammar mistakes and remove or replace broken external links. I'm beginning to watch the Recent Changes page for vandalism, so I will probably doing more edits in that area.

List of appearances of God in fiction (Added Sinfest to the list)
Snake (zodiac)
Sarno (changed link from Salerno to Province of Salerno)
Florida Community College at Jacksonville (copy editing)
Flowers in the Attic (copy editing)

Way Out West (added "Way Out West", a song by Big Star to the list)
Hinesville, Georgia (fixed two external links (one was in wrong part of page and other was incorrectly linked)

Interests

I am a bookish self-proclaimed geek with science fiction and leftist politics fixations. I read and write science fiction stories, as well as some general fiction. I blog, and my first and primary blog has been up since 26 September, 2003. I like to keep up with current events and prefer reading the news online. I am also hopelessly addicted to Wikipedia (I've only recently joined, before I just read it voraciously), NationStates, and online political quizzes. I have a profound obsession with David Hewlett.

Television

I watch far too much television. I'm a fan of a dizzying amount of shows, but I won't subject you to the full list. I'm a big science fiction fan. I'm a Star Trek fan; my favorite series are the original and Deep Space Nine, but I watch every incarnation except Enterprise, which I have... no comment on. I also love Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica (both original and reimagined.) I've also recently gotten into Doctor Who.

The shows I've been watching recently:

Star Trek (all shows except [[Star Trek: Enterprise|Enterprise)
Doctor Who
Family Guy
Futurama
The Boondocks
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
M*A*S*H
Blackadder Goes Forth
As Time Goes By
Good Eats
MythBusters

News

I am a news fiend. I get my news primarily from the internet (BBC International News and Yahoo! News.) TV (C-Span) radio WJCT

I've recently become a NPR fiend. I listen to WJCT. I especially enjoy Car Talk and A Prairie Home Companion.

Music

My all time favorite bands are The Velvet Underground, The Clash, and Wilco. In March 2006, I attended my first concert, Wilco at the Florida Theatre here in Jax.

Articles to Edit or Create

Converse College - It's a stub, just a couple of sentences, a list of departments, and an external link.
Visual Thinking Strategies (or VTS; a method of facilitated discussion of art with beginning art viewers. I recently atttended a workshop on it, there is oodles of information and literature written about it out there, yet no article yet!)
Hannibal (it's tagged as needing copyediting, I can do that.)
Stuart M. Kaminsky (The fact that this man does not have a Wikipedia page is an affront to his voluminous body of work. I looove my Rostnikov and Toby Peters books.)
Steve Sesnick - It's one sentence. Come on.
