I've had to dramatically slow down my contributions recently because of my work with the Calgary Housing Action Initiative. I'm still checking in to counter vandalism on my watchlist, but not much else these days. Hopefully I'll have more time again before the year is out….
On April 4, 2006, I made my one thousandth edit on Wikipedia! This note is actually that edit. (The number is based on the count at the Wikimedia User Edit Counter.)

[edit] Wikipedia in the media
I do a fair amount of local media in my advocacy work. In this, I’ve ended up doing a couple of interviews talking about Wikipedia. I forget exactly when I did the first one. The second was on September 17, 2007, 7:45am, for CBC Radio Calgary’s The Eyeopener. That was specifically discussing WP and the Calgary municipal election, 2007 article.
