This is going to be very informal as formalities make me shudder. :P My name is Will Rinehart, and I have been an avid READER of wikipedia for a few years. In Sept. 2005, I began adding contributions, and am finding it to be an addictive sort of hobby already!
I am a 4th year student at Texas A&M University which is in College Station, Texas and is the fastest growing university in the U.S., as well as the largest (and, in my humble opinion..the greatest). I am majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis on technology, and minoring in Business. As the name suggests, my major integrates several areas of studies. My particular path emphasises human resource development, adult education, communication, technology, and a required minor in business. All upper level classes focus on written and oral communication and leadership skills, regardless of the subject. It is a new conceptual major in the College of Education and Human Development and the potential and differnt paths that it could offer me in the future excites me.
In my time away from class I work for Computing and Information Services at Texas A&M University at Help Desk Central. I help students and faculty with computer related issues and problems. Through October and November of 2005, last year, I worked at the Texas Renaissance Festival on Saturdays and Sundays, which was a blast.
In addition to my current work and studies, I have five years experience in the retail world selling shoes on commission. Just don't call me Al Bundy, and we'll all be okay.
articles I've created:[edit]
I was into 80's kids fads for a bit and made some entries regarding those for a while. some of those are listed below:
Cowboy Slim Rinehart - My favorite contrib as he was my g-grandpa's cousin
Bill Sherwood stub
contributed significant crap to (changed from a lil' stub):[edit]
Other stuff[edit]
I am particularly interested in the pop culture of the 80's and 90's and how it pertained to me as a preteen and teenager. (toys, cartoons, music tv etc) but am fascinated with the ever evolving trends over the past century as well. If I stick around long enough, I'll probably end up doing research on this kind of stuff. :)
In addition I would like to contribute stubs for people and subjects that aren't listed. I am an avid researcher of just general STUFF... If I think about something or someone or hear about something that interests me in any way, I often look it up, and sometimes am dissapointed at not being able to find anything, so would like to contribute info for that kind of stuff. Wikipedia is often my first stop and looking stuff up, as it often points to other good research info.
