About me

Hello world.

I'm a motorcycling nut and enjoy having OCPD and depression. I dropped out of school during the dot-com boom and worked at MP3.com, Amazon.com, and finally a miserable, confusing year at Big Fish Games. I've now downsized from our large Seattle home and moved into a tiny Downtown Portland apartment so I can go to school at PSU and finish a degree in Computer Science. I should be done in late 2010.

Interests

I'm a fan of Adam Carolla and the shows he's done over the years, as well as the umbrella of related individuals: Teresa Strasser, Dr. Drew Pinsky and Loveline, Jeffrey Ross, David Alan Grier, Joel McHale and The Soup, etc.

Since getting involved with Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Oregon, I have taken on a couple of tasks that were needing a not-owner: mainly, fulfilling requests for photos in Oregon and creating/expanding every high school article in Oregon with sources and infoboxes. I've never attended a primary/secondary school in Oregon, nor do I have children, but that hasn't stopped me from learning and contributing as I can.

Good times!

I've seen your hard work. You seem to be popping up everywhere. Don't think it goes unnoticed or unwelcomed, it's most welcome. You're doing a great job. :) Steve Crossin 06:52, 20 September 2009 (UTC)


Updated DYK query On September 21, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Oregon Connections Academy, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Convert requested photos from KML to Garmin Mapsource: 

wget --output-document=/tmp/wiki.kml \
  'http://toolserver.org/~para/cgi-bin/kmlexport?article=\

  && gpsbabel -i kml -f /tmp/wiki. kml -o gdb -F \
