[edit] What I'm doing here
I am a Geotechnical Engineer living in Oakland, California.
I am working on a substantial rewrite of the Geotechnical Engineering article and articles about geotechnical engineering and concrete materials. I have created an article on R-value of soils, and one on Mineral hydration, and have made significant edits to landslide, peat, Shear stress, Direct Shear Test, Standard Penetration Test, Earthquake liquefaction, Calaveras Fault, Concrete, Portland cement, cement, pile, ground granulated blast furnace slag, and edited Elasticity (physics), Plasticity (physics), Permeability (fluid), and more.
I'm interested in politics, especially local politics. I have contributed to the articles on Ron Dellums, the Special election musical chairs which occurred in Oakland in 1998-99, and Alameda Measure A and, more globally, have contributed to the Democratic Party (United States), Republican Party (United States), Communist Party USA, racial segregation, anarcho-capitalism, activism, direct action (which needed significant edits), Álvaro Vargas Llosa, Mike Curb, Jerry Brown, McCarthyism, Independent cities, Neoconservatism and Charter school.
I'm also interested in my local area and its history, and have contributed to the articles on Oakland, Alameda, California, Alameda Unified School District, Victorian architecture, Californio, Port Chicago disaster, San Francisco Chronicle, and more. I've wandered into local educational institutions, and have created stub articles for College of Alameda and the Peralta Community College District, edited Feather River College to indicate its former connection to the PCCD, and created a short article/epitaph for D-Q University.
I dance, a variety of different forms. I've made minor edits to the article on Argentine Tango, have created the Irish stepdance article by splitting it off from the Irish dance article, and have made edits to both. I've worked a little on articles about Reel (dance), Slip jig, and created the article on Active couple.
I'm interested in quirky bits of history, and have started a reorgnaization of the List of extinct states, and made minor edits to a few articles I read while researching history for the list. I've been involved with the article on Republic of Ragusa, trying to keep it from being totally rewritten in bad English by an Italian and a Croatian nationalist. I added a little bit to the article on Monongalia County, West Virginia, for reasons I don't entirely remember. I've added a little to articles on Delaware and Hundred (division) about Delaware's Hundreds.
I have an interest in articles about Colombia, and have edited that article, the article on Bogotá, D.C., Manizales, Honda, Tolima, Líbano, and Colombian Armed Conflict. I also have an interest in Greece, but have only worked on the articles on Ioannis Rallis and the Security Battalions
I like chocolate and beer. I've written the article on the Mendocino Brewing Company, and done minor edits to associated articles, including United Beverages Group. I have created the List of chocolate manufacturers to help control the list in the Chocolate article, and edited articles on See's Candies, Guittard Chocolate Company, Lake Champlain Chocolates, Venchi.
I lived in the University Students' Cooperative Association, and have edited that article, and articles on several individual USCA co-ops, and Cooperative.
Articles I've edited related to other interests: LibraryThing, Rolling Down to Old Maui, Letter frequencies, ETAOIN SHRDLU, Home equity loan.
