From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

11/08/2006 -- Sorry I haven't been around. I've been dealing with health and family issues.

Uh, that's me! (Mostly. It's actually st_jb, but this is what Wikipedia did with it.)

My son got me started on Wikipedia. Blame him.

I earn my keep working as a freelance writer and web designer. My background is in both print and broadcast journalism. Yes, I do have a fat clip file and credits from real, royalty-paying book publishers. I spend my days sitting in front of the computer watching my hips expand working and get my exercise by running out to the mailbox to look for checks. Hey, in this heat I manage to sweat off a pound or two in the process! ;-)

For now I'm getting my feet wet with a minor edit or comment here and there. I don't edit under my real name because I'm not here to pimp my work. I'm proud of what I do for a living, but there are other venues for self-promotion.

Amongst my interests: Technology, photography, old-time radio, British Radio and TV (I'm American, but no one here does radio like the BBC), and House, M.D. - it's about the only network television show I watch.

(Someone asked: Yes, I do have multiple sources of income. That's the nature of freelancing. I love my job and pay the bills and my taxes - including that extra self-employment whammy. I also work from home which means I'm not contributing to the air pollution problem. Got it? Good.)
