In August 2015, I got a little job editing Wikidelphia. Wikidelphia was in need of someone to pay attention to the whole project in a sustained, overseeing way and help expand it more than its busy progenitor Stan Pokras can do by himself.

One experience that qualifies me: I started and have been gradually expanding another reference source. It's called Study Love, and it's a place to learn about or meditate upon the most important force in the universe: spiritual love (agape, as opposed to eros or philia). The site is large, detailed, well-organized, easy to use, and very fast.

I'm also building a glossary of linguistics. When I see a term I don't know, I look it up and make an entry from what I find. Back in 2009, I added the Stratificational Grammar collection of terms glottopedia.org/index.php/Stratificational_Grammar to Glottopedia, getting advice from the father of that grammar himself, Sydney Lamb.

From 2007 to 2014, I held the "chief clerk" job doing website maintenance, flier creation, operations reports, and various other clerical tasks at Nonprofit Technology Resources, which was founded by Stan.

-A larger part of any bio of me would have to describe Life-Net News &amp; Radio: Life-Net News was a newsletter, sometimes monthly, sometimes weekly, sometimes printed. I selected stories from the press and elsewhere about poverty, without regard to political angle, and condensed them to their essentials. Along with Life-Net News, from 1998 to 2010, I made a radio show, Life-Net Radio, a densely packed, fully layered, professional-sounding production. Again, the idea was to find guests from as many vantage points as possible. All told, I produced over 540 new episodes, and a listener tuning in on any week enjoyed having less than a 10% chance of hearing a rerun. In 2008, I received the [http://www.presidentialserviceawards.gov/the-award President’s Lifetime Achievement Award].
