First off the basics, I'm a guy and I live in Fremont, California. You don't get to know my real name however, unless you want to guess it. I'll give you a hint, it's a book of the bible. First one to guess it gets a complimentary barnstar.
I derive my username from one of my favorite TV shows Stargate SG-1 and the year it started. I'm a highway, traffic light, lighthouse, soccer, travel buff who has contributed mainly to road related articles, stadium articles, and ligthhouses. However I also worked for Apple Computer and sometimes will drop in and touch up those articles as well.
My first attempt at an entry was the oft deleted Systemwars.com article. Sadly it didn't go over so well and quite frankly it was crap. But I got better at this whole Wikipedia thing :)
