Hello, and welcome to my Wikipedia Userpage. While I have been a registered Wikipedian for going on 7 years now, I've really only been actually participating since October 2007 with a break in 2010. I am a member of several Wikiprojects including WikiProject Human Spaceflight, WikiProject South Carolina, WikiProject Georgia and the WikiProject Utah. I jump around from one subject to another depending on my current interest, (which can change quickly) working what looks like it needs help. I generally stick with subjects that I love like Rocketry, Spaceflight, Electronics, Robotics, Geography and the states of Illinois, South Carolina, Utah and Georgia.

In the short time I've been here, I have found that Wikipedia is quite addicting, specially for an information junkie like myself. I can spend several hours a day here, either working on an article or just reading. So am I a Wikipediholic? According to the Wikipediholism test I am "really overdoing myself. I need to take a wikibreak for a few days." I scored a 3331 on the test. How about you, what is your score?

Wikipedia Picture of the Day
Harold Urey

Harold Urey (1893–1981) was an American physical chemist who received the 1934 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery of deuterium, a heavy isotope of hydrogen. During World War II, he worked on the Manhattan Project, overseeing research into uranium enrichment for the development of the atomic bomb. After the war, he pioneered research into ancient climates using oxygen isotopes and contributed to theories about the origin of life. His hypothesis about the composition of Earth's early atmosphere provided the basis for the Miller–Urey experiment, conducted by his student Stanley Miller, which demonstrated that amino acids could form from simpler compounds. Urey later studied the Moon and its origins, examining lunar samples returned by the Apollo 11 mission. This photograph shows Urey in 1934.
