Self-serving Autobiography
Christ, what do I put here? I'm not one who commonly talks about himself. Okay, let's begin with the basics. I'm a 17-year-old male from St. Petersburg, Florida. I'm a nerd, which probably is true for a great majority of Wikipedians. I'm a graduate of Lakewood High School Center for Advanced Technologies, and am preparing to go to college (at the Illinois Institute of Technology). I'm a National Merit Scholar, as well. My interests include computers, learning, The Simpsons (of which my knowledge is roughly equal to Wikipedia's), grammar (of which I am a Nazi), politics, and religion. And...that's it for now. Leave any questions on the talk, mmmkay?
Wikipedia and YOU!
It's really pretty simple: |

I wasn't too terribly prolific before becoming an admin...I self-nominated myself after around 1000 edits. Compared to some people, I'm still a mere peon. However, I've become more active of late, including dabbling in page protection (which gets me into trouble), speedy deletions, and even a RfC which I recently filed (a task I utterly loathed to do). I'm not a deletionist, inclusionist, mergist, or any of those things...I'm fairly moderate on deletion, I suppose. When I'm on Wikipedia, I generally live off of my watchlist. Oh, and I edit Wikipedia a lot from home, as well as from school. (Work doesn't have an Internet connection.)
I helped get Rush (band) to FA status. Go me!

I don't have enough to merit a subpage. :(

Today's featured article
The Model M Keyboard is a class of computer keyboards manufactured by IBM, Lexmark and finally Unicomp, starting in the 1980s. The Model M was considered a class of keyboards rather than a specific model, as the many different models of the keyboard had their own distinct characteristics. Most, however, included fully swappable keycaps and a buckling spring key design, which are two features many people, such as computer enthusiasts and those who type often, find very useful. The Model M is also remembered for its overall heavy and sturdy design, which allowed the keyboard to survive far longer periods of time, use, and abuse than practically any other personal computer component ever manufactured.
Other than that, I don't make ground-breaking edits to very many pages. I do a lot of tasks that help with the encyclopedia, though, like fighting vandalism, grammar fixes, and other chores.
