"I always feel that I've just started. The work to be, the work that's yet to come … it will remain there, to be done, no matter what happens. If the reviews of a play of mine are the best in the world, my work remains to be done. If a book of mine wins all the prizes in the world, the work remains to be done."
My Wikipedia work revolves mostly around working to make imperfect pages (usually about people and Balzac's work) into Featured Articles, and copyediting others' work. You can read my fascinating insights about the Wikipedia experience at my wikithoughts page. Although I can't imagine why anyone else would want to see them, I also have a sandbox and another sandbox and a drawing board and a canvas. If you'd like to leave me a message, click here.
I also do some video-mashing in my spare time. My most recent project is a blockbuster documentary film about a journey I took with my wife around the southeastern United States in July 2008. One of my better videos is I, Neo, which mixes together Massive Attack, Mos Def, and The Matrix.
I designed this page – with lots of trial and error – using tables. Feel free to swipe code if you like, but a link is appreciated.
