Nagasaki, Nagasaki - 10 August 2005
I do a lot of technical editing, mainly in history (lifelong avocation) or in science & engineering related topics. Most often, I'll end up doing a whole string of related edits from within a preview window while testing links of whatever edit I started with.
===Articles I've suspended Researching=== (Casualties of Katrina!)
Dont forget: web reference for additional research: http://www.russojapanesewar.com/tsushima.html
===Wiki Articles I Started=== Excludes the trivial redirects, Natch!
This will never be up to date, I fear!!!

I feel that Self-promotion is something that ought to be practiced like masturbation - in private, but now that I finally committed myself to the Wiki-culture and signed up, I suppose something autobiographical should be written here. I started making small anonymous edits and fixes around the end of October in 2004, but more in the following winter. So I've been poking around since the end of 2004 iirc under a variety of IP's, and bit the bullet and registered in May 2005 while on a history kick. I batch read a lot, especially in history, a life long love. I didn't major in it though, figuring I couldn't pay any bills with such a degree without becoming a PhD., which alas, I could not envision as an undergraduate paying my own way through school. Next semester's tuition was as far as I could see!
I'm a self-employed engineering consultant in the Boston Area with a strong general knowledge background in the sciences, history, and to a lesser extent economics and finance. I attended Washington and Jefferson College in Pennsylvania (Biology+Chemistry+Economics), DeVry Institute of Technology, Evanston Ill. (Associates in Electronics), Northeastern University and Tufts University (various electrical and computer engineering), not to mention a lot of US Navy Technical Schools while I was in the regular navy. My college education was broken and changed track as a result of the world wide recession triggered by the OPEC Oil Embargo of 1973 and 1974. In 1974 (my first 'real' professional job as a student) was as an Industrial Chemist in a steel stamping and galvanizing plant a manufacturer of 'electrical boxes', making sure we were in compliance with the then new Clean Air and Water Act and resultant E.P.A. regulations.
To many, that recession meant only gas lines and odd-even license plate restrictions for when we could buy, but to me, working to put myself through school, it meant watching a company die, a consequent stint in the US Navy serving in Submarines when I couldn't afford a third years tuition, and a reserve career as a Chief-Petty-Officer now spanning decades. It also bumped me into electronics and software which I've kept balanced on a plate as a systems specialist ever since, even before adding other engineering degrees. I have a wife who is a notable tax expert, CPA, currently President of the local chapter of NAWBO (pronounced 'Nah-Bow'- National Associations Womans Business Owners) and two teenagers now both in a private high school. We live in North Anover, Massachusetts -- but if you tell anyone, I'll have to kill you cause that's classified. <G>
(If you're unfamiliar with military humor in general, you have to forgive me for things like that. Some say I have a low and evil sense of humor, but that's a base slander — it's not evil in the least but does go quite low at times!)
I write science fiction and fantasy under a nom de plume (which is how I found Wiki), read almost anything, but especially love to study history by reading biographies of various 'characters on the historical stage' so I can get the 'flavor' of the time and the balanced viewpoint from various authors. If a figure is especially noteworthy, I'll read three or four biographies over time, as some biographers exibit bias. Living near Boston, I'm also a big PATS (and Steelers) fan, though the home town team wins my loyalty over the old town 'Steel city' when they meet head to head. (After such occasions, the family will even talk to me again— after a month or so of sulking.) I'm a fair REDSOX baseball fan as well (and no, not fair weather!), but more fanatic about the shorter football season. I don't generally watch TV unless it's current events (News, sports) or History, save for family time, got to the movies only rarely, and browse the web less than that without a specific purpose. Those sessions meant I started seeing Wikipedia more and more, and I guess that's the short form of why I'm here now taken together with my penchant for reading and wanting to check a related matter.
I'm a lifelong Boy Scout (Us older 'graduates' and mentors are known as 'Scouters') and like a lot of outdoor stuff varying from the horses and hunting dogs I had as a kid, to mountaineering things like rapeling and white water rafting. I'm very into blue water boating, used to race extensively (Glory Days) in sailing clubs and regatta's, and can be seen cruising (or flying very low) in local waters in the Nauti-gal, a cuddy-cabin go fast boat my wife talked me into when she opined that sailing was too much work (as an activity).
So my sentence for accepting that arguement is that I get to spend my spare time maintaining 'Nauti-Gal' and hung a license-plate sign saying "I'd Rather be Sailing" on the stern. Hey, gotta be honest! I'm currently rebuilding her engine (As a youth, I managed a gas station and helped build dragsters) and hope to get her back on blue water by May 2006.
I Trailer the beast, so you can find me on New Hampshires Lakes as readily as on the coastline between Kennibunkport, ME (No, Haven't seen Bush Senior on his boat yet.) to Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island. This summer I may cruise down to New London and Groton (Ct.) to see if the old Navy base looks the same.
In addition to all that, I keep after an endless list of hands on projects around the house or grounds, train and walk our two dogs, and build furnature and do cabinetry about every third year. The Doc said I was good for another 100,000 miles early in 2006 but wants me to loose more weight (15 pounds down from December to February wasn't enough!). While that sounds well enough, he wants me to get a colonoscopy which is about as bad as it gets, so say a prayer for me come May!
