I'm a software engineer by trade, and a husband and dad by leisure. I've spent most of my professional career in the game industry. In fact, I was the lead programmer on two of the games I worked on: Clue and Scooby Doo: Mystery of the Fun Park Phantom. If you want to know more about me, visit my official web site: Frecklefoot's Flat. Being a video game developer, I got an entry on MobyGames: my Rap Sheet.

[edit] Wiki History

I've started scores of articles, but the ones I'm most proud of deal with the video game industry, which I used to be a proud part of. With a few exceptions, I either completely authored or totally overhauled all the articles below. Of course I can't take credit (or blame) for the current state of any of the articles (Wikipedia is a community effort), but I'm proud that I was able to give birth to such important and interesting articles:

I often edit articles about subjects I have no particular interest in, usually with just small changes to grammar and formatting (in this sense, I'm often a WikiGnome). But here's a list (in chronological order, more or less) of articles with which I've had a great deal to do with. Some articles I've created, others I've just greatly expanded. I haven't included stubs that I've created (they don't count!) unless I later expanded it into a significant article. Newest work appears at the bottom.

[edit] Notable contributions

I've also created numerous categories. But since the 'pedia has about 16,000,000,000 categories right now, I'm not sure that's something to be proud of...

Indicates entry was a featured article
^† Indicates the article was featured in the "Did you know..." section of the Main page when the article was new.

[edit] Projects

Projects I'm officially interested in, but not necessarily an official member of.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Arcade games (started by me, turned into the arcade game task force)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games (member)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Writing Captions (not an official member)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Films (not an official member)

[edit] Genuinely interesting

Though I didn't contribute a whole lot to these articles, they are interesting nonetheless:

Steve Wozniak: A true hero to every nerd
Voynich Manuscript: Truly weird; a hoax or genuine?
Alexander "Sawney" Bean: "Father" of a cannibalistic, legendary bandit family. Did they really even exist?
Spring Heeled Jack: Probably just a time-traveler using futuristic technology to scare English residents (my theory)
Sieve of Eratosthenes: A cool, ancient way to find prime numbers!
List of French words and phrases used by English speakers: sprinkle these phrases throughout your daily dialog in order to sound intelligent
