(Holy smokes!)

I'm sitting in front of UCF's Business Administration building in the mid-2000s, near the end of my college tenure.

A bit about me: I began this user account on Wikipedia on June 20, 2006, though I remember using the wiki as a school source for years before that. So what have I done here anyway? As it happens, my main interests on Wikipedia are:

• Categorizing and adding/clarifying stub classifications for random articles I come across
• Categorizing and cleaning up aritst, song, and album pages (all music genres)

This is my favorite wiki activity, though I realize it's rather meaningless in the scheme of things--the world is not going to improve because someone who visits Wikipedia now knows the bonus track listing of the 2012 digital reissue of No!; but, there it is because of me, and if it brings a smile to the face of the viewer, then I am content.

• Clarifications and minor expansions to articles relating to Star Trek, Florida, They Might Be Giants (you can find my frequent contributions on This Might Be a Wiki here), R.E.M., and baseball.

The first page I ever created was for the album Out West by Gomez, way back in June 2006. Then, on October 17, 2016, for the first time I came across that page with the Special:Random function. Wow!!

How cool is this! A wiki-cake! I'll take a slice, though I wish the fondant hadn't been layered on so thick.
