Captmondo

A mid-40's-ish guy living in The Beaches area of Toronto.

I work as an Manager at a certain graphics card/CPU company, and am a published author of four computer-oriented titles (a couple of books on HTML and then another two on CSS) and lecturer on Information Architecture at the University of Toronto's iSchool. For what it's worth, I hold degrees in English and Psychology, and a Masters of Public Administration, all from Queen's University, Kingston. Other than a brief stint with the Federal government in the early 90s, I have worked primarily in the technology sector. I worked on one of the earliest commercial Web sites in the early 90s (Delrina).

I am a regular contributor on articles relating to the subject of Ancient Egypt, which has long been a hobby of mine. I have a fairly extensive personal library on the subject, and have access to Jstor through my local library system.

I am also interested in radio, Astronomy, and History specifically Canadian, Torontonian, Roman, British and British Commonwealth, as well as the history of language and science.

Am also an avid photographer and like making additions to Wikimedia Commons. My current camera is an Olympus E-510 DSLR. Whenever I go on business trips, if there is something I can take a few pics of in order to help illustrate an article for Wikipedia, I'll bring my camera along and deliberately take a few photos in order to help out. A gallery of the images I have shot and uploaded can be found here: [1]. Chances are that if I am not making contributions here in the English Wikipedia, I am working on something in Wikimedia Commons.

Am married and have two daughters, in a house that also has four goldfish, three budgies, one cat and one dog.

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar For your amazing work on the article Ahmose I, which passed both GA and FA without a single oppose, I award you the Tireless Contributor barnstar. Wear it with pride, for you most certainly deserved it! — Editor at Large(speak) 14:02, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Ancient Egyptian bibliography

These are the source materials I have readily at hand from my personal library. Since I often reference this material in the articles, it makes some sense to have it all in one place. It also means I don't have to re-type my references to the full each and every time. ;-)
