[edit] I'm proud of...

- ...FIFA World Cup hosts. I built this article from the ground up, and it isn't that bad of an article.
- ...my conversion of a list into a neat table at 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time (GSN), as well as 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time (TV Guide).
- ...2006 NFL Draft, an article I helped improve to featured list status!
- ...my writing for the Wikipedia Signpost.
- I entirely wrote the 1000 Administrators article (September 5 2006), with the assistance of the uncredited NoSeptember.
- I contribute to the "Features and admins" section. I solely wrote the September 5, 2006, September 11, 2006, September 25, 2006, October 2, 2006 and October 9, 2006 editions. The editions I mostly wrote were the August 28, 2006 and September 18, 2006. I was part of a collaobration for the August 14, 2006 and August 21, 2006 editions.

[edit] About me
Hello everybody, my name is Ian. I live in Ohio, located in the United States. I have a blog, in case you are interested. I try to blog regularly. I also am a member of Where's George?, an online American dollar bill tracking community. I am ranked 348th out of 4,984 Georgers in Ohio, in the 93rd percentile. I have a George Score of 531.59. I have entered 359 bills worth $1,532. All of the statistics above were as of 05:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC). I happen to be a user of NationStates, a MMORPG of sorts. My nation can be viewed here, though it probably doesn't exist right now because I never use it.
My favorite Greek letter is ξ.

Quote describing Tallmadge, Ohio:
- Six miles east of Akron, the thriving official center of its county, in almost its pristine solitude, pioneer simplicity and primitive picturesqueness, lies the quiet little village of Tallmadge. Its two or three hundred contented inhabitants go their way today, as undisturbed by the social follies or the commercial whirl, distant but one hour's travel, as though they were lodged in some vast wilderness, inaccessible to the inroads of society's corruptions. To walk the broad, tree-canopied streets and talk with the genuine, generous, cultured and unpretentious people of this "loveliest village of the plain," even for a day, is to receive rest for the mind and peace for the soul. In Tallmadge as no where else in this commonwealth still lingers the influence of its New England ancestry. The form may be much dwarfed and the spirit be weak, but the latter is still potent enough to be felt. To enter Tallmadge is to breathe the atmosphere of the simple life. The vanity and vexation of the twentieth century are strangers to Tallmadge; they would not stay long if they came, they would feel so out of place. This is why we tell about Tallmadge for we have been there and know whereof we speak.
