“

A man with great knowledge of media wrote an article for Wikipedia. But sadly, the "Moogle" didn't show up on Google; Its deletion could not have been speedier.

”

Hello!

I'm a programmer and mostly inactive user. I created my account on Wikipedia on October 23, 2004. After seeing a year's worth of my work here erased piecemeal through the churn of the deletionists, I walked away in frustration. I still pop on from time to time to check in and make the occasional fix to articles I'm browsing. I still use Wikipedia almost every day as a reader, but my days of being an active editor are essentially over. I've left my user page pretty much intact.

I think my most lasting contributions are copyleft images I added to the commons. You can see my photos under the Photographs I've taken section. If you would like me to relicense any of my media contributions under a new license, please contact me and I'd be happy to cooperate.

Articles I've authored

I feel that I have made a significant contribution to the following articles.

• Jahshaka
• Avid Free DV
• The Freesound Project

Articles I've started

I started the following articles, but others have (or should have) contributed a great deal.

• Canon GL-2, my new camera.
• Three-CCD, imaging technology used in the GL-2 and most professional video cameras.
• Dnyarri

Photographs I've taken

To see my full collection of photograph and media uploads, visit my commons user page. However, these are the ones I'm most proud of, either for artistic content or encyclopedic value.

• The Electronic Arts Building
• My Canon GL-2
• Various photos of a Fisher dolly.
• HMI and ballast.

Entries I'd like to write/expand

• The Bracewell Observatory, sadly demolished last year by the coldhearted administration of Stanford University.
• Webchat Broadcasting System, a popular internet communty site in the 90's in which my parents had a founding role
• Bob Lash, my father (an original member of the Homebrew computer club)
• Avid Media Composer, which I have an opportunity to work on starting this year
• Sometimes In April, an excellent and underrated film about the Rwandan genocide that deserves more attention

Things I'd like To Photograph

• Chapman University, my college
• Film-related
  • Various camera dollies (Including a Fisher), dolly track, cardelini clamp

Picture of the day
	Two Common Blue Damselflies (Enallagma cyathigerum) mating. The male clasps the female by her neck while she bends her body around to his reproductive organs; this is called a mating wheel. This damselfly species is found throughout Europe. The male is similar in appearance to the Azure Damselfly. Photo: L. B. Tettenborn Archive – More featured pictures...
