I'm dgw (formerly Voyagerfan5761), known as "Tuvok" in my signature (a symptom of my love for Tim Russ' character on Star Trek: Voyager). I started editing here back in April 2006, and have been hooked ever since. Wikipedia has jeopardized my high school career more than once (</hyperbole>).

I am obviously very much into Star Trek: Voyager (this I've already mentioned), and not-so-obviously into technical editing and dabbling in various programming languages like JavaScript and PHP. I also like to mess around in CSS and HTML, plus helping out a bit at the Support Desk on MediaWiki.org. Most of the work I do here is minor cleanup stuff, with some recent changes and new pages patrol sessions along the way.

I get a lot of questions about my username, so let me explain a bit. The first time I ever signed up for an account anywhere, really, was on Neopets in 2002. Since "voyagerfan" was taken (I was a Voyager fan by the age of 11), I appended the current Hebrew year at that time to the username I wanted, and it was available. Since registering for Neopets, I've registered at dozens of other sites, including here, all with the same username. A Google search for my username brings up only results related to me, which is great for vanity searching. :P

Much of my info can be found in my userboxes below. (That's my excuse for being lazy and not writing more up here. :D )

Userboxes

I have created a few humble userboxes, mostly by imitation (I freely admit). If you're interested, I've listed them on a subpage.

Dan Broida

I am currently researching information on Dan Broida (the founder of Sigma-Aldrich Corporation in St. Louis, MO) to write a biography. To contribute to the project, go to the project page. To ask questions about the project, go to the project talk page.

This page

I also really, really have to give this userpage an overhaul... It's really disorganized. Vulcans (削除) hate (削除ここまで) can't tolerate clutter. :P
