Current wikipedia STATUS (as of Tuesday April 13, 2004): I'm back from a trip to the Grand Staircase area (Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce Canyon). Going through my watchlist and email now...

Hello, I have been a Wikipedian since January 1, 2002. After getting totally hooked on the idea of Wikipedia I then became a member of the Wikipedia Volunteer Fire Department and later a Wikipedia Administrator (all this really means is that I am a hopeless Wikipediholic). In December of 2001 I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Biological Sciences and a minor in Geological Sciences (that's right kids -- I have a BS in BS with a minor in dirt). I plan on getting a Masters degree in Atmospheric Science. After that I plan on receiving a PhD in Global/Earth Systems Science (which James Lovelock liked to call Geophysiology) in the year 2010.
About the handle. Well I have always been a maverick so that part seemed appropriate (and what true "maverick" would actually spell it correctly -- hey, wait a minute, I just did spell it correctly... errr). The "149" part is a reference to the movies 2001: A Space Odyssey & 2010 The Year We Make Contact, in which we find out the dimensions of the mysterious monolith (1 by 4 by 9). Knowing this, it is most appropriate for me to graduate in the year 2001 with a Bachelors, and plan on graduating in 2010 with a PhD -- I know, I'm a geek. But I am damn proud of it.
If for some insane reason, lack of sleep, psychosis or other dementia you want to know more about me, then visit my totally opinionated meta page; where I post my random thoughts, lecture notes, old essays and any other junk I can get my hands on and legally place under the GNU FDL.

I'm helping to do the same thing for the country / pages and I helped motivate others to do the same for the Middle-earth the The Simpsons articles.
Mav, I award you this barnstar for the amazing level of contributions you have made to Wikipedia, in particular the work you put into maintaining the Main Page and the date pages, and for being an inspiring role model for myself and undoubtedly many other editors here. :) Angela. 11:32, Jan 10, 2004 (UTC)
