He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. —Thomas Jefferson

I have an extremely diverse range of interest, as is evidenced by the complete list of what I have done to Wikipedia.

Please feel free to send me e-mail or comment on my talk page.

I use Wikipedia as a self-education tool. I do not do this by reading and implicitly trusting articles, but rather by reading and editing articles. When I have completed editing an article, I have:

1. learned from it,
2. verified its accuracy, and
3. improved it in some way.

I believe this process is one of the best educational tools available. And it pays both to me and to anyone else who may read that article.

Some of the articles I have started include:

1. Adequate pointclass
2. Alex Michaelis
3. American Research Group
4. American Society of Consultant Pharmacists
5. Andamooka Opal
6. Apple Open Directory
7. Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization
8. Cactus fence
9. Cocoa Touch
10. Commission for Certification in Geriatric Pharmacy
11. Consultant pharmacist
12. Hungarian Space Office
13. iOS (originally iPhone OS)
14. Klein Bonaire
15. List of antibiotics
16. Marine reptile
17. Nostoc pruniforme‎
18. R. Tim Webster
19. Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay
20. Stegastes variabilis
21. Tribe (internet)
22. United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space
23. User:UBX/Snorkeler
24. Xmarks
