The name says it all.
I live in Richmond, BC (a suburb of Vancouver), and have been involved here since February, 2002. I still find the subjects below to be interesting, but my recent work has been on Wiktionary (as its first bureaucrat). Someday, I may find the energy to revise what I have said below. :-)
Areas of significant interest:
- Library of Congress classification
- Breakdown of letter sub-classes done
- Further breakdowns to be done as and when I feel the need
- Astrology and Parapsychology
- This is a subject area which requires very cautious consideration. I personally believe that there is a limited validity to these subjects, but that validity cannot be pinned down as easily as the proponents would like. I can be as critical of "scientists" who dismiss these matters out of hand as pseudo-scientific, as I am of adherents who make wild predictions.
- Academy Awards
- From time to time I've been adding material to the various categories;
- languages and their ISO 639 classification
- Indo-European
- Slavic, Romance - done
- Germanic - in the queue
- Albanian, Armenian, Baltic, Celtic, Greek - in the queue
- Indic and Iranian branches - not likely, very long project beyond my capacity
- non-Indo-European - some possibilities
- Indo-European
