All right, I gave in and added a picture of myself. It's from a couple years ago—I'll replace it with a better picture when I get a chance.

The remainder of this page is really for me, to keep track of articles I'm working on and such. You're welcome to read it but it's not very well-organized.

==To do==
Although I spend most of my time copyediting, here are some current/future project ideas. This is more to remind me what I wanted to work on than to tell others. I am overly ambitious for the amount of time I have and probably won't get to all of these. Anyone is free to beat me to these tasks.

I am a student of the universe, a seeker of knowledge, a lover of learning.

In the real world, I am a physician, which leaves me with little time to edit Misplaced Pages.

I began editing in late November, 2004 (under my briefly used account, User:Knowledgeseeker). On March 15, 2005, I became an administrator. To check up on what I've been doing with my administrative powers, see my log (note that rollbacks will appear under my contributions like my other edits). I take pride in my work and take care to follow Misplaced Pages policy. If you feel I have misused my adminstrative powers in some way, I would very much appreciate if you let me know.

Yes I'm awesome!
