[edit] Captmondo

An early 40's-ish guy living in The Beaches area of Toronto.

I work as an Information Architect at a certain graphics card company, and am a published author and lecturer at Professional Learning Centre at the University of Toronto. For what it's worth, I hold degrees in English and Psychology, and a Masters of Public Administration, all from Queen's University, Kingston. Other than a brief stint with the Federal government in the early 90s, have worked primarily in the technology sector since then. I worked on one of the early commercial Web sites for Delrina back in 1994, wrote a couple of books on HTML and then another two on CSS.

Am also interested in comedy, Astronomy, Egyptology and History specifically Canadian, Toronto, Roman, British and British Commonwealth, the history of language and science, and probably some other ones as well.

Am married and have two kids, and two cats. If you *really* want to learn more about me, see my blog at http://www.captmondo.com/.

For what it's worth, I think edits as a metric is over-rated on Wikipedia, and would much rather see something on "content added". In my time here I have seen the smallest of edits added, reverted, regional spellings changed despite guidance not to do so, reverted again, bad grammar replacing something that was fine to begin with. And somewhere, someone has gotten an edit credit for doing all of this. Anybody can edit, but not everyone can or does add content, and that is where the real focus ought to be IMHO. ;-)

As for the username: I created a fictional superhero by that name for a bunch of radio comedy spots I did for CFRC back in the late 1980s, and adopted it for personal use since that time. ;-)
