For years in doing online searches, I would run across Wikipedia articles that I found helpful. I eventually noticed the "edit this page" on top, and soon saw that "anyone could edit". I made my very first edit, 18:04, 9 May 2005 under IP address 64.12.116.138 (America Online) by adding a large paragraph of information on Filmation, a cartoon studio popular when I grew up, but whose productions are rarely shown today. Next, I added some facts to M Train, my local subway line, and then Scooby Doo, my favorite cartoon series. Wondering "Gee, what prevents anyone from just coming and messing up articles?", I soon found that the IP was periodically locked out due to such vandalism, and then propmptly registered. On 02:01, 12 May 2005 I made my first new article from scratch, Hangly-Man, a bootleg Pac-Man clone game that was very popular at one time, but not remembered much. I also uploaded my first file, a screenshot of the game. Soon afterward, I added a point on the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. I also added the information about the a counseling tool called the Arno Profile System and its newly discovered temperament of supine to the four humors (four temperament) article. It was a bit long for that page, so I had to create a new article called "Supine (Temperament)". I then also decided to add a new article on the Five Temperaments, explaining the history of this new theory. My wife is an aspiring psychological counselor and through her I have learned of temperament theory. I also expanded the article on Pseudosphere, a geometrical opposite of a sphere. I also had learned more about a four dimensional object called a duocylinder, and added the bulk of that article. More recently; I added a bunch of info to the article on the legendary hip hop battle, the Bridge Wars, and from there created the related article on the Roxanne Wars, added some "expert info" and images on Penrose diagrams, and also expanded the stub article on Drake's with much info. This was my favorite snack cake, but it is very hard to find outside the U.S._Northeast. I am also contributing to Disco.
It is obvious that I have a wide range of interests, as well as more serious ministry pursuits. Wikipedia is the perfect place to use all the information, I have on different subjects, in their relevant articles!
I spend a lot of time online working on my various pages, or debating in various issues, mostly Christian on the Baptist Board, or just on my interest boards, in the areas of NYC transit, (SubChat and Bus Talk) LED's (Candlepower Forums), Detroit Diesel (Yahoo), a couple of boards on my favorite musician, Stevie Wonder, and sometimes cartoons (Toon Zone; Earth To Edd), and occasionally the fourth dimension (Tetraspace), and Decimal Time (decimaltime.hynes.net). I have also been currently involved in the heated Intelligent Design debate, in various forums.
"Eric B" is also the well known name of Eric Barrier, the DJ for the famous rap group Eric B & Rakim, who arose in the 1980's. My mother had coined it as an affectionate term for me a decade earlier during my childhood.
