		Hello and welcome to my user page. <br />
		I have been a member of ] since ], ] (though the records say ] because of time zone differences). I discovered Misplaced Pages in August of 2006 when its articles on pretty much every common noun started showing up in the top ten results on Google's search engine. At first, I didn't really edit much, though as time went on, I found myself correcting grammatical errors and such fairly regularly.

In addition, I commonly visit pages relating to video games, astronomy, and science in general. As mentioned previously, I really enjoy computer programming, so if you need help with formatting or modifying a template, userbox, or another area that requires at least a moderate level of programming expertise, I am happy to help out. <br />

Revision as of 23:20, 31 March 2008

Hello and welcome to my user page.
I have been a member of Misplaced Pages since November 30, 2007 (though the records say December 1 because of time zone differences). I discovered Misplaced Pages in August of 2006 when its articles on pretty much every common noun started showing up in the top ten results on Google's search engine. At first, I didn't really edit much, though as time went on, I found myself correcting grammatical errors and such fairly regularly. I continued to use Misplaced Pages more and more until I decided to join the project.

Interests and favorite areas of Misplaced Pages

I am very interested in all forms of computer programming and I often use Misplaced Pages to find the definition of unfamiliar words and terms related to computing technology. In addition, I commonly visit pages relating to video games, astronomy, and science in general. As mentioned previously, I really enjoy computer programming, so if you need help with formatting or modifying a template, userbox, or another area that requires at least a moderate level of programming expertise, I am happy to help out.
When I'm not editing or participating in other areas of Misplaced Pages, I enjoy reading articles on topics that are not available in any other encyclopedia, such as Star Wars and Star Trek. Although much of my time here is spent on relatively few groups of pages, sometimes I like to just pick a random, slightly interesting link, go on to that article, read it, and repeat the process.

About Me

I was born and live in New York State and I think this is the best state in the U.S., regardless of what any Texans might say.
My interests include reading, computer and web programming and... well, I guess that's about the useful things I do.
In my spare time, I enjoy watching TV, playing video games (favorite game: Warhawk.), and playing sand-lot football. (even though I'm not very good at it.)
I also enjoy eating pizza, lasagna, ziti, (basically anything italian), and most junk food.
As to where I came up with my username: long, boring story...

Things that make me laugh

This page and the people who wanted to keep it. Also, the 4 and 10 comments on whether to delete it or not.
Positive fanboy vandalism??!
The way this user was banned.
Hillary Clinton's secret alter ego
The real winner of the 2000 U.S. Presidential Election
This
This all-powerful IP user (posted on an administrator's talk page)
ummmm... (to an admin with almost 11000 edits at the time)
These edit summaries
This warning and the fact that this page is still vandalized more than almost any page on Misplaced Pages.
A very frank and concise opinion on a certain NHL team.
Charles Manson's mother's problem that caused him to be what he was.
A German town apparently located near the end of a human limb.
The evil side of yo-yos.
Eloquent statement of the positive side of vandalism. (yes, this was vandalism)
Very subtly named sockpuppet account.
*gasp* No way?! , , ,
Shocking exposé on the real identity of a certain superhero.
Eerily accurate vandalism on my userpage.
A little known fact about the history of the Euro as a food source.
Recipe for Admiral Ackbar stew.
The real reason people don't use the sandbox for test editing.
Little known result of Gamal Abdel Nasser's death.
How Sitting Bull got his name.
