My name is Jim and I've been a registered Wikipedian since February of 2006. After being here for six months, I decided it was about time I did something with my user page. Eventually, I'll add more info.
I'm a native Wisconsinite, who has lived in Madison since the early 1990s. I'm a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison as well as the University of Wisconsin-Manitowoc.
[edit] My Wiki Life
My primary interests at Wikipedia are college hockey, Wisconsin sports, and Wisconsin in general.
My first contribution to Wikipedia was a very minor change to the Jerome Bettis biography. My 100th contribution was an edit to the page you are currently reading.
So far, I've created five articles at Wikipedia:
[edit] On My iPod
Rather than try to write some boilerplate on my musical tastes, I'll post a list of the CDs currently loaded on my iPod, all 130 of them. Reading through the list shows that my musical tastes are not easy to categorize. (I apologize for not having Wikilinks in the list, but that was more work than I felt like dealing with right now. Maybe later.)
