Projects

Userboxes

I have created a few humble userboxes, mostly by imitation (I freely admit). If you're interested, I've listed them on a subpage.

Dan Broida

I am currently researching information on Dan Broida (the founder of Sigma corporation) to write a biography. To contribute to the project, go to the project page. To ask questions about the project, go to the project talk page.

Manual talk page index

I have put manually indexing my talk page archives on my to-do list. Werdnabot is offline, and I never got an answer from Werdna about retroactive indexing.

Web Presences

For a list of my other Web presences, check out my Web Presences page.
