[edit] Background

I'm from Oregon, and have a bachelor of science in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Middle East studies.

I'm 1/4 French, 1/4 Italian, 1/16 Nez Perce, and the rest a mix of Northern European.

[edit] Edits

My first edit was on 17 June 2005 as user:Cunado19, and since then I've been active on the Bahá'í pages. I also edit a lot of Islamic pages, and I'm trying to standardize the MOS for Arabic transliteration.

I made over 8,800 edits as Cunado19, and in January 2008 I switched to the current user name of Cuñado.

[edit] Cuñado

Wikipedians have mis-spelled my name as Cunardo, Cuando, Cunada, Cornholio, Cunaldo, Canado and other forms of Cunado. For those of you wondering, cuñado is Spanish for "Brother in law". When I was 14 I lived in Mexico, and everyone thought my sister was hot. Cuñado became my nickname.

[edit] Lifetime Goals

I once had a few lifetime goals, like to jump out of an airplane, and see the Great Wall, but I'd accomplished them all by the age of 22 (the trick is to aim low). I decided on some new goals: I want to hug an Orangutan, visit the Kaaba in Mecca, and adopt a little Chinese girl.
