About me
Hello world.
I'm a motorcycling nut and enjoy having OCPD and depression. I dropped out of school during the dot-com boom and worked at MP3.com, Amazon.com, and finally a miserable, confusing year at Big Fish Games. I've now downsized from our large Seattle home and moved into a tiny Downtown Portland apartment so I can go to school at PSU and finish a degree in Computer Science. I should be done in late 2010.
Interests
I'm a fan of Adam Carolla and the shows he's done over the years, as well as the umbrella of related individuals: Teresa Strasser, Dr. Drew Pinsky and Loveline, Jeffrey Ross, David Alan Grier, Joel McHale and The Soup, etc.
Since getting involved with Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon, I have taken on a couple of tasks that were needing a not-owner: mainly, fulfilling requests for photos in Oregon and creating/expanding every high school article in Oregon with sources and infoboxes. I've never attended a primary/secondary school in Oregon, nor do I have children, but that hasn't stopped me from learning and contributing as I can.
Good times!

Negative personal comments
Semi-amusing comments about me follow. You can get on this list, just keep a few things in mind:
- Be creative! Nothing is worse than a wimpy pointless attack. Read below for inspiration.
- Follow the guidelines at WP:NPA, and wait for your reward.
And the comments:
- "Fascist admin deleting all relevent information."
- "(...) to satisfy your ego? Seriously, what is someone from Seattle who is an Athiest doing on a Canadian catholic highschool page? Troll!(angreh that catholics beat a recard arent you, you poor wittle athiest?)" (later) "And I still think his motivation for what he did was based on his hatred of catholics/christians (...) and mods will always side with the person whose been here for the longest. Meh."
- "F-U Tedder!"
- "Hey, Fuck You Too! And Get a Life (..) Asscheese"
- "Tedder, who are you to judge the events (at my high school...) Stop being a creeper and just edit the stuff in your state."
- "YER A MAGGOT" (page blanking)
- "Tedder you've got to be s-hitting me!!! STOP F-UCKING WATCHING MY F-UCKING TALK PAGE, J-ERKOFF!!! GO BACK TO WATCHING Mr. HANDS!!!" (blocked user page)
- I'm a gay sex nut, enjoy having unwarrented self importance and emo (..)
- Fuck off tedder. You are part of the problem, and not part of the solution. The sooner we get rid of fucking asshole admins like you, the better wikipedia will be. (Tedder's current award-winner for best attack/rant ever)
- I'm a ball and nut kinda person and enjoy slipping a cheeky little cock up my bum,
- Who has the substantial authoritative support here, Teddy-Poo? A real biker corroborated by Google search results? Or a geek poser with delete privileges? (...) I don't expect you to embarrass yourself and Wikipedia further by leaving this definition on line for very long, geek boy.
Weird accusations
