===Trivia===
<div style="border: thin silver solid; background-color: white; padding: 1em; -moz-border-radius:10px;">
* I grew up in New York, Germany, England, and Texas. I have to try very, very hard not to use English spellings since I learned to read and write in England.
* "{{searchlink|text=Nikki}}" or "{{searchlink|text=Nicci}}"
* I routinely confuse Sinclair Lewis with Upton Sinclair, Joss Whedon with Joss Stone, Andy Rooney with Mickey Rooney (and Mickey Rooney with Mickey O'Rourke), and perhaps oddest of all, Robert Heinlein with Isaac Asimov.
* "{{searchlink|text=Hanna}}" or "{{searchlink|text=Hannah}}" or "{{searchlink|text=Hanah}}"
* Some movies and TV shows you probably like with which I just don't see the fascination: any and all anime, ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' (I liked the movie, but then again it had Peewee in it) and its ilk, ''Firefly'' and its ilk, ''24'', anything with ''CSI'' in the title, ''Battlestar Galactica'' (which I would like had I not grown up on the original), most reality television
* "{{searchlink|text=Micha}}"
* Favorite television shows: ''Heroes'' (duh), any and all ''Star Trek'', ''Good Eats'', ''Project Runway'', ''Desperate Housewives'', and that's about it.
* "{{searchlink|text=Nathen}}"
** I have never owned my own television, though I used to have a TV card on my computer. There are currently 2 televisions for every human in my home, including a 110-inch projector. Go figure.
* "{{searchlink|text=Eve}} McCain" or "Eden {{searchlink|text=McKenzie}}"
** This isn't really a matter of pretentiousness. I don't think disliking television makes me cool. In Germany, we had one English language channel (run by the military, their idea of content was things like last year's World Series), and in England we only had four channels (and despite what PBS might make you think, most of the programming was crap--it's not all Monty Python and Fawlty Towers. A lot of it's Basil Brush and bad game shows.) Six formative years spent without television will put you out of the habit, trust me.
* "{{searchlink|text=Mohidner}}"
* Favorite music: just about anything, but I particularly like the Pet Shop Boys and lots of truly terrible college buttrock (y'know, the kind of crap that ends up on a ''Madden'' or ''Burnout'' soundtrack. Anything from people with silly hair and either daddy issues or a hipster complex.)
* "{{searchlink|text=Issac}}" or "{{searchlink|text=Isaak}}"
* Favorite authors: James Faulkner, Philip Roth, Tibor Fischer, Douglas Adams, Ayn Rand, Robert Heinlein, Christopher Moore, Christopher Rice, Neil Gaiman
* "{{searchlink|text=Zack}}"
** Most overrated author of all time: John Steinbeck. Ugh.
* "{{searchlink|text=Clair}}"
* Other fandoms I'm tangentially involved in: ''James Bond'' (my cell number ends in "007"), ''Star Trek'', various comic books
* "{{searchlink|text=Syler}}"
* Fandoms I refuse to become even tangentially involved in, despite liking the books and films: ''Harry Potter'' ('shippers of prepubescent children frighten me), ''Lord of the Rings'' (have re-read 'em every year since I was 12), ''Star Wars'' (too sacred to deal with most fans)
* "{{searchlink|text=Oddessa}}"
* Favorite hobby: cooking.
* "{{searchlink|text=Caitlyn}}" or "{{searchlink|text=Kaitlyn}}" or "{{searchlink|text=Kaitlin}}"
* Foods I will not eat: mayonnaise (unless homemade, and then only with trepidation), sour cream
* Anyone with the last name "{{searchlink|text=Deveraux}}"
* Job history while in college: selling comics, selling porn, selling coffee. Most disturbing aspect of said jobs: carryover customers from all three.
* Anyone with the last name "{{searchlink|text=Bennett}}"
* Reason I got into Wikis: correcting typos (I do this with books, too--even library books).
* "{{searchlink|text=Time_Kring|display=Time Kring}}"
* Words I cannot pronounce properly: South (I say "selth" for some reason).
* "{{searchlink|text=Telekenisis}}"
* Strangest phrase I've ever said: "Stop raping your brother while he's peeing". Said to a dog, fortunately.
</div>
* Reading fan forums and/or listening to fan podcasts generally makes me want to claw my own face off, but I do it anyway.

===Miscellaneous Projects===

====Image Cleanup====
<div style="border: thin silver solid; background-color: white; padding: 1em; -moz-border-radius:10px;">
* <s>Change <nowiki>{{image-promotional}}</nowiki> to <nowiki>{{image-imdb}}</nowiki> on images from IMdB</s>

* <s>Clean out [[:Category:Uncredited Images]]. Either find a source, or find a replacement image.</s>
* "Supposably"
* <s>Standardize [[:Category:Places|Place]] images at 450x350, not 400x350.

* "Excetera"
* Apostrophe abuse
* Comma allergies
* "Grammer" (though semi-ironic)
</div>


====Cast & Crew Cleanup====
* look for external links, websites, About sections on cast & crew pages
* make sure actors have out-of-character images whenever possible. Use [[Template:nocastimage]] as needed

* Every black character is related to every other black character

About Me

Hi there!

Before you ask, no, my username isn't something kinky. It's an anagram.

My name is Dave and I'm from Austin, TX. I'm a recent law school graduate. Some other places to find me on the Internet:

...all under the same username. The only place I use a different username is on TOW where I'm "ImHardviceonED" (long story).

The following do not exist:


Skepticism

Please don't take offense if I play devil's advocate. For that matter, don't even assume I actually disagree with you. I genuinely believe that challenging our assumptions is how we discover the truth. If an idea can't withstand adversarial scrutiny, then it's not much of an idea.

Also, please don't take offense if where you see The Symbol, I see Gumby. I also value skepticism.

Miscellaneous pet peeves:


All of the Theories summarized:
  • Every black character is related to every other black character
  • Every Hispanic character is related to every other Hispanic character
  • Every Asian character is related to or is every other Asian character
  • Every person who doesn't have powers really does have powers
  • Every person who is currently alive is going to die (and soon)
  • Every person who is not currently alive is Not Really Dead
  • Every person who is dead is going to come back to life sometime
  • Everybody who is not currently working for The Company is really working for The Company
  • Everybody who is currently working for The Company is really working against The Company
  • Everybody's real power is something really complicated and specific and absolutely impossible to convey on a TV show where the actual mechanics of superpowers are never discussed
  • Everybody is the hooded killer
  • Everybody is Sylar
  • Everybody is really somebody else in disguise, from the past, or from the future
  • Waffles are tasty
  • The killer is always West.
  • Every character is adopted
