Between July 24, 2004 and January 9, 2005, I made edits w/o a username, and a few times since then, I may have inadvertently edited w/o logging in. Ooops! July 24 is when I got cable modem, finally, and a static IP. Prior thereto, I was on dialup, and despite my best efforts, have been unable to find a reliable list of my anon edits. Oh well. :-pTomerTALK 04:32, May 16, 2005 (UTC)Apparently I'm now editing from66.188.250.140 (talk ·contribs).
This page was starting to suffer from userbox overload, so I got rid ofall of them and put themhere instead. Enjoy.
I first started messing around on wikipedia several years ago, at which time I was unaware that there was a login or contributors' list, or whatnot. Most of my dillydallying has been starting or contributing to articles about Jews and Judaism, as well as a few minor edits in other fields. I first signed up as a real "user" just a couple months ago, so now I've gotta be careful, since now ppl can see what I'm doing... ;-)TShilo12 01:17, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
OK, and so now, I spent a little time compiling alist of articles I started...have yet to compile a list of articles to which I've contributed extensively. For those wondering how many edits I've made on the English WP, clickhere. And here's acollection of garbage I've found on WP.
I was born at 8:38 PMAtlantic time,April 15,1972, inAguadilla,Puerto Rico. That's right,income tax day. Since puertorricans don't payU.S.Federal Income Tax, however, it's not such anevil day there.
I've lived in theTown of Washington, inEau Claire County, Wisconsin (just south ofEau Claire,Wisconsin) since I was 7 years old. I hatewinter, and blame it on the fact that I'm from Puerto Rico, eventhough my memories of PR are rather scanty, and none of them have anything to do with theclimate there.
I went toCleghorn Elementary School inCleghorn, Wisconsin, and then toSouth Junior High School in Eau Claire, although from mid-October until earlyJanuary of fifth grade (grade 5 for theCanucks out there), I went toDownsville Elementary School inDownsville, Wisconsin, and I went toPepin High School inPepin, Wisconsin for the firstsemester of 9th grade. (Incidentally, when I was going to Pepin HS, I was living nearLund, Wisconsin, about 2 miles from the girlhood home ofLaura Ingalls Wilder. Every day on the way to school, I passed the park containing her real-life house described inLittle House in the Big Woods.[1] I graduatedJune 6,1990 from Eau Claire'sMemorial High School. Unlike most people, apparently, I absolutely donot think High School was the best time of my life. One cool thing about High School tho, was the fact that the principal's office left us alone for the most part when we took over thelobby by the mainauditorium every morning before school (sometimes as many as 40 of us), playinghackey sack...usually withkoosh balls, in those days...
I went toUWEC off and on thereafter, finally getting aB.S. inPhysics onMay 22,1998, after (sometimes serious) flirtations withSociology,Geology andCultural geography: Linguistics. I didn't go to commencement, as I had to work that day, atShopKo's service desk, and didn't really regard my finally having graduated as much of an accomplishment (my GPA was only 2.44).
InJuly of1999, I became manager of theshoe department at ShopKo #24 in Eau Claire, which meant, at that time, that I became an employee ofJ. Baker, Inc., a company that should rot inhell for the way they screwed over their employees and the chains that contracted with them. Oh wait. That's right, they wentbankrupt. I guessannihilation is about the same thing as hell, except without thetorment. Oh well. As that stupidcountry song says, "two outta three ain't bad"...
Payless Shoes took over JBI's ShopKo account in June of 2000, which meant I was either out of a job, (unless I was willing to accept the equivalent ofanalrape from Payless, a store from which I will never buy a pair of shoes or even a pair ofshoelaces as long as I live or) unless I went back to my service desk job at ShopKo. I was out of a job. Happily, I already had lined up a position atHoneywell, in the Advanced Circuits unit of their Electronic Materials division. Unfortunately, my brother, through whom I got the job, had made some enemies among thebigwigs, and so I was stuck in an unadvanceable position. When a layoff was offered inNovember of2002, I took it happily. Greedily, you might say.
I returned to UWEC inJanuary of2003 and completed a seconddegree, this time inComputer Science.
While working on my CS degree, and then for a year afterwards, I worked as theregulatory coördinator and biolab tech for a localveterinarypharmaceuticallaboratory. Since June of 2007, I've been working as a data tech forIDEXX Computer Systems, a division ofIDEXX Laboratories.
I have a mom and a dad.
I have 2 sisters and a brother, some cousins, nephews, grandparents, nieces, and various other relatives.
I'm a proudJew.
I'm single and love it, but would also love to not be.I'm just starting a relationship with a great girl who, if things work out alright, will be my wife come Sept. 2006. Well wishing is welcome, but gifts and financial contributions will be appreciated even more.
One of my fun little projects in high schools (besides inventing my own language) , was to invent anew orthography for English.
For the dialectologists, the way I speak English, "Atlantis" sounds like/ɛʔ·'lænnis/, "Toronto" sounds like/tɹ̩·'ano/ or/'tɹa·no/, and while "dentist" is usually /'dɛ·nɪst̚/, "dentists" is /'dɛ·nɪs:/ (not to be confused with "Dennis", which is /'dɛ·nɪs/).

Basically, I like anything except most of what comes out of theRap andCountry world. I hate any and everything, however, bearing the labelJazz.
My closest friendships in the world are with Jordan, Munch and a few other great guys, more recently, Coot, Shneb, Lester andMilas, none of whom have any particular overriding interest in Wikimania.
I honestly believe that people who believe that "communism works, it just hasn't been tried by the right people" are delusional.

God instructed them to make a six-branched, seven-lamped lampstand —menorah — of pure gold. God instructed them to make the Tabernacle of ten strips of fine twisted linen, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, with a design of cherubim worked into them. God instructed them to make 11 cloths of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle, and coverings of tanned ram skins andtachash skins. God instructed them to make planks of acacia wood for the Tabernacle. God instructed them to make a curtain of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine twisted linen, with a design of cherubim, to serve as a partition obscuring theHoly of Holies. God instructed them to place the Ark, the table, and the lampstand in the Tabernacle. God instructed them to make a screen for the entrance of the Tent, of colored yarns, and fine twisted linen, done in embroidery and supported by five posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold. God instructed them to make the altar of acacia wood overlaid with copper. And God instructed them to make the enclosure of the Tabernacle from fine twisted linen.
