User:Garrett Albright

Hello there.

My name is Garrett Albright. I'm originally from Fortuna, California but am currently trapped in Boise, Idaho - if I cold be anywhere in the world I'd be back in Tokyo. I have a degree in English literature from Sonoma State University and am very close to getting one in IT from Western Governors University.

My edits, to the extent they will be political, will have an anarcho-capitalist perspective. (What will your edits have? You are not as neutral as you pretend to be.) That said, the majority of my edits in the last decade or so have been just typo fixes and such. It's annoying to edit facts into an article just to have them reverted by other editors with more autism time to waste than me. I used to be a big animation nerd and my early major contributions reflected that.

I'm a freelance web developer mostly working with the LAMP stack. I used to be a Drupal specialist but haven't been able to work with it much recently.

Pages I have made substantial contributions to

• Para Para, the modern Japanese dance.
• Destino (original contributor!), the cartoon co-created by Walt Disney and Salvador Dalí.
• Traditional animation (original contributor!), the oldest and most popular form of animation.
• FLCL, the high-energy Japanese animated series and comic.
• Tag (original contributor!), the simple sport often played by children.
• Linguicism (original contributor… but stubby and kinda crappy), the word for prejudice based on language.
• Tank man (original contributor!), AKA Wang Weilin, the names ascribed to the protester photographed standing before a line of tanks during the Tiananmen Square protest of 1989.
• Sonoma State University (original contributor!), my alma mater. A California State University.
• Craig McCracken (original contributor!), the animator and creator of The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home
• Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (see above)
• Company town (original contributor!), a town which is entirely owned by a company
• Mac gaming (original contributor!), games for the rest of us.
