This is the page where you can find slightly more personal information about me. Like many on wikipedia, I feel such information as my political and social views, my religion, my tastes, and my hobbies may be relevant to other users particularly in helping to expose any accidental biases that may enter into my edits. However, like other wikipedians, I understand that some of this information can be considered offensive or distasteful to certain people, and so I keep it seperate from the much more relevant information (such as my skills and background) on my main user page.
P.S., please forgive missing images and poor formatting. Over time, various bots and deletions have mutilated this page.
Favorite Books
editI've finally gotten over a lot of my adolescent laziness and started reading quite a bit in the past few years. Here are some of my favorites:
User boxes
editThere's a boat load. You can also see a handful of user boxes I've created in my own user space at /userboxes list. Feel free to use them, just remember to include the entire page name (including namespace) in the template call.
All my userboxes are subst'd incase they get deleted, and so this page isn't such an incredible drain on the server. If you have a long list of userboxes that you want to subst, you can try the real simple perl script found at User:Bmearns/userbox_conv.pl. No gauruntees.
